This recipe is a keeper! Loved it! Added a little more celery and onion and 2 cups cooked rice. I also did what Jenna did. I sprinkled more cheese on top and stuck it back in the oven. I am hoping this will be a good recipe to freeze.

This recipe is absolutely perfect for parents having a football game day party! It suits not only the children but, the adults as well. I made four casseroles for the 8 adults and 8 kids and I still ran out by halftime. Everyone loved it! I did make a few additions; used wild brown rice, added 2 cloves of garlic, added 1/2 ts. of tarragon, 1 ts. of paprika, 1 hatch roasted chili, and when it came out of the oven I added shredded Muenster cheese. Thank-you for a quick, healthy football recipe!

This was easy to make and super yummy. Although I put a little more than the recipe called for. I used almost 2 cans of the cream of chicken, 2 stalks of celery, 1 whole bell pepper and 1 medium onion. I also used sharp instead of mild cheese, about a cup mixed in, then after it was done in the oven I sprinkled some on top and stuck it back in for about 5 minutes. (Makes it prettier I think...) I also sprinkled garlic salt to taste, but I bet it would be good to chop up a couple garlic cloves and sautee those with the veggies. I got a good reaction from the family and will most definitely make it again.
