A variation of this recipe has been in my family forever. Pure comfort food. You can vary the ingredients to suit your taste. We normally make it with french fried onions on top and bake rice in it using 2 cups of rice and 4 cups of broth. Read More

Looks disgusting, but tastes good! I wouldn't serve it to anyone, but I definitely would eat it while alone on a Saturday night. Read More

Totally American but a great grandma dish! I always leave out the cheese as I didn't grow up with it on the farm. It is what I crave when I am sick. Thanks for sharing! I didn't change anything else. Read More

Wow! This stuff is so good! It's the epitome of comfort food. It was so easy to make, too! I followed the recipe except for the nuts. Didn't have any and it really didn't need them. I'll be cooking this again! Read More

I Love this old casserole my mom used to make. Sometimes I will add mushrooms and maybe some water chestnuts sliced. Just a little extra crunch. Read More

Followed the suggestion of adding rice and broth. Also my chow mien noodles had gone stale, but I did have a extra can of french fried onions, substituted those for the topping. Hubs and littles loved it, only wish I would have doubled the recipe. Read More
