I have been searching for this recipe for ages----thankfully no canned soup as I am allergic to MSG which most canned soups contain. I prepared a casserole similar to this eons ago for a high school parents night pot luck in Colorado Springs and it disappeared so quickly my husband didn't even get to taste it. In our move back to Canada our household goods were in storage for a year and unfortunately a treasured cookbook with this recipe tucked inside could not be found. So the search began and now that I have found it I'm going to make certain that I don't lose it again. I'm taking it to a neighbour's pot luck dinner next week.
