Hearty and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Easy to prepare one-dish meal that is especially hearty in the winter. The water chestnuts are great texture, and it is easy... to lighten it up with reduced fat cheese, mayo, etc.Read more

A great dish...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This has become a family favorite and is my number one "send out" casserole. It is always a hit. I do however, exchange the... green beans for broccoli, and I always top it with crushed Ritz crackers and some extra shredded cheese. Read more

I followed this recipe exactly as written and it was extremely bland! Everyone at the table thought it was missing... something... Bland mush... I was very surprised!!! Usually Paula knows what she's doing!Read more

COMFORT FOOD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great & easy dish! We loved it the first time I made it which I followed the recipe exactly. However, I always tend to... tweak it to our liking... I substituted the pimentos with fresh chopped red bell pepper. I added fresh chopped mushrooms. I substituted the green beans with peas. I substituted the cream of celery with cream of mushroom. I enjoy the tartness the mayo adds but if you don't care for it you could easily replace 1/2 the mayo with more cream of celery or sour cream but it will also change the flavor of the dish. If your worried about the heaviness, you can totally lighten up this dish! Use yogurt butter, 98% fat free soup, light cheddar cheese, & light mayo =)Read more
