Great base recipe! I'm sure that it would have been fine as is, but I tweeked it for tastes here: omitted pimiento and used a mix for cream soup (#125100). Also used ranch dressing in place of milk or sour cream, peas for additional veggy and included seasoned bread crumbs with the Parmesan. As I said, personal preference, but a great base to spring from!
