I made this and it is so good. Is definitely a keeper. I will have to make it and get a photo before anyone can dip out of it.
Mine turned out a bit dry. I would probably add 2 cans of soup and/or cook 30 minutes next time. Either that or bake covered. Flavors were really great though. My mother in law used to make this and I regretfully didn’t get the recipe before she passed. This was very similar to hers.
