I have been making a variation of this for years. Mine adds sliced water chestnuts, and uses bread crumbs instead of croutons. It has always been a hit, no matter where I take it. Read More

There was something missing from this...perhaps an additional type of cheese other than just processed? I actually opted to make my own croutons and added in a little bit of garlic and frozen spinach (thawed/drained) for extra excitement. I think next time I may try adding water chestnuts for texture (another reviewers suggestion) and maybe some fresh dill? Read More

Great veggie dish! Easy to prepare. Even veggie avoiders will enjoy this. Use a small onion or the strong flavor will over power the sweet of the carrots. I didn't have any seasoned croutons in house & wanted something quick to use so opened a box of stovetop corn bread stuffing mix and used that w/ out the seasoning package. Was wonderful! Will make again. Read More

Always make this one for big holiday dinners. I have used cream of chicken/mushroom/celery or whatever I have on hand and it always turns out great. I also prefer to use crushed ritz crackers on the top. Read More

I used Wegman's seasoned croutons - Cheese & Garlic variety. This casserole was a HUGE success only problem - next time I have to make TWO of them because my husband ate almost one by himself!! HE LOVED IT!! Read More

Good basic recipe! I didn't have cream of celery soup so used (low sodium) cream of mushroom and added no salt Spike rather than the salt and pepper but otherwise stayed with the original recipe. I could see myself making it again perhaps adding a mix of veggies and/or mushrooms... Great comfort food! Thanks!! Read More

This recipe is a keeper. Perfect for holidays or when you have to bring a casserole to a party. I scaled down the butter to 3T. with the croutons and it was wonderful. Read More
