A favorite in our house for Thanksgiving for the last 20 years now. I had this casserole 20 years back in Orlando when my assistant teacher, Nancy got this for the staff just before Christmas. I was very new to this country and had never eaten anything like this before.
I loved the taste, and immediately asked her for the recipe. She had made it with Cream of Chicken, but since I have many vegetarian friends, I usually make with Cream of Mushroom.
I like to spice things up a bit by adding Red chili powder into the soup/cheese mixture and also topping it with jalapenos. I kept it mild this time because I was making it for my daughters friends and knew they would not be able to handle the heat.
If you like things a bit spicy, you will love the flavor of jalapenos on top ! Jazz it up,however you like or just keep it simple as the original recipe calls for, its delicious either way!
