I thought this would be something that would appeal to my kids more than me. I was wrong. It was very creamy and had good flavor. The only change I made was using a can of cream of mushroom soup instead of cream of celery.

Very good!My husband and I do not like celery either, but it blends in the recipe well enough that we could tolerate it! Great taste!!!!

My kids didn't enjoy this but they are weird. I liked it, it had a nice flavour, but I don't think I'll make it again.

My 4 year-old who is super picky LOVES this dish. I picked it specifically for him because of the fattening ingredients. He is a tiny guy and needs to chunk up a bit. The only problem was the salt. I added less than 1/4 tsp. and it was still too salty. Next time I won't add any. (Will probably go down to 1/4 tsp. of pepper, too.) We all liked this recipe. I will certainly make it again. Thank you, Evan's Mommy!

This was good for the kids but just a little odd for my taste buds. I still had seconds so it wasn't bad at all. I didn't have cream of celery so I had to use cream of chicken.
