This was ok However I thnk that the cream base would be great for a chicken ala king type dish. It would need more of the cream base though. I will make again as chicken ala king.

Too dry. Won't make again, back to my old recipe. Thanks anyway.

This was wonderful. Instead of frozen mixed veggies, I used fresh green beans, fresh carrots, fresh celery and a can of corn. I just served it from the pot, rather than putting it in the oven with breadcrumbs.

This was great. I was not convinced when I added the milk as it smelled soooooooo sweat. The end product was lovely .I will deff make it again. I did add a little water for the first ten minutes cooking as I felt it was very dry. This worked well.

I have to admit, I didn\'t actually eat this dish! (YET) But, I did make it for a sick friend, and it smelled and looked wonderful! Trust me, it almost didn\'t make it to her house! I used a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables, (carrots, green beans and corn) and they worked great. As this was cooking, and the lovely smell went throughout our house, my husband was a little disapointed that I had steaks in the fridge marinating for the grill! Now that says something! So, even though the weather is warmer now I had to promise to make this for him next week! And my sick friend, LOVED IT! She said it CURED her! I asked her on a scale of 1 to 5 how much she loved it, as she isn\'t Zaar savvy, and she said 10! Thanks Nancy! :-)
