Water Chestnut Casserole

Submitted by Chef Roly-Poly

"The first time I posted this recipe I accidentally left out an ingredient, the cream of mushroom soup. My Pastor's wife brought this casserole to a Pot-Luck Dinner at our church and it was so good that I begged her out of the recipe. I would like to apologize to Susie D."

This didn't work out for me, but I did make changes to the recipe so that might have been the problem. I used frozen Asian blend vegetables with aspargus, chopped turkey, and omitted the butter from the casserole mixture. I also only used 8 oz of crackers and next time would even reduce that by half. The cooking time was way off for frozen veggies. I ended up with a mushy colorless casserole instead of the colorful ingredients I used. Maybe my errors will prevent someone else from disappointment & I do thank you for sharing the recipe.
