I have made this recipe many times - it's wonderful. I've also given it to friends who have also enjoyed it. I do change mine up a bit and use italian flavored cheeses as well as italian bread crumbs. I typicall omit the peas and carrots too. Made it again last night for the first time in months and I was reminded it is one of my favorite casseroles.

This is a great recipe to play around with. I've substituted the chicken with ground turkey sausage or ham, and different combinations of frozen vegetables (like mixed vegetables or cut green beans) and have ommited bread crumbs with the cheese when I ran out. It always comes out delicious. I add more noodles (I use a 12 oz bag) and another can of soup (I've even mixed the Cream of Chicken and mushroom together) to make a bigger dish then freeze leftovers for a quick and easy future meal!
