My 4 year old and I enjoyed this, picky 7 year old was not so keen, but he did eat it. I cut the recipe in half, except that I made the full amount of pasta and veggies. The cheese sauce could probably have used some other kind of cheese, I might add mozzarella or parm next time.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"01\/09\/2013 17:56","GUID":"fed52f4d832b4854a046a949aeec2850","MemberId":4631582,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"aug2295","SubmittedDate":"01\/09\/2013 17:56"},{"Comment":"

Very easy to make and was a hit. Def. needs the salt I usually do not put salt in dishes I make.

EXCELLENT! I used cans of cooked chicken to cut my prep time and substituted panko bread crumbs for the cornflakes in the topping and it gave it a little extra cruch.

We enjoyed this; it was great comfort food for a cold Winter night. I cut the recipe in half to make just one casserole. Next time, though, I think I'll add more mushrooms and maybe double up on the veggies. (NOTE: We found the cornflake topping to be surprisingly flavorful thanks to the paprika and fresh parsley; it stayed much crunchier than breadcrumb toppings often do.)<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"01\/21\/2012 21:20","GUID":"89fc8337d5424a6e9830bad1bee7f74c","MemberId":2759683,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"BrytEyz","SubmittedDate":"01\/21\/2012 21:20"},{"Comment":"

Halving recipe is no problem but suggest no yolk noodles, unsalted butter and broth, no fat milk instead of half and half, and of course, nechtafel or 1\/3 less fat cream cheese. Poach chicken breasts in lo sodium borth and then cut up. These changes will make this more friendly to those of us with health concerns.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"01\/20\/2012 14:40","GUID":"d7dffe28bd2f44e998bdec9fa1bd939f","MemberId":5472599,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"jazzd","SubmittedDate":"01\/20\/2012 14:40"},{"Comment":"
I made this last night after seeing the recipe and the reviews. I made a couple slight changes, to accomodate my picky husband, and it was fabulous. He loved it! I cut the cream cheese in half, and added a cup of cheddar cheese to the sauce. Omitted mushrooms, even though I love them, and before I put the cornflake topping on, I sprinkled with another cup of cheddar cheese. It was delicious, and I will be making it again very soon!<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"01\/20\/2012 13:41","GUID":"8306a7dff6da4685a9c5508803ef774f","MemberId":6181681,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Lanaf","SubmittedDate":"01\/20\/2012 13:41"},{"Comment":"

I have made some variations as well that work too....try using grated cheddar cheese, about 1 C in lieu of cream cheese. You can use sour cream if you do not have Half'n'Half, you can use 2 Tbsp of dried minced onion in lieu of an onion, and 1 Tbsp of Beau Monde if you do not have fresh celery. I use fresh ground pepper as well, and have used and not used paprika with good results.<\/p>","CommentId":38,"DateRated":"09\/27\/2010 12:59","GUID":"fe7bb4fc724c47bf8da1559055432b08","MemberId":3404632,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"amyalusa","SubmittedDate":"09\/27\/2010 12:59"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":39,"DateRated":"09\/02\/2010 16:46","GUID":"747730582e6341b595fa87df0cbc15ff","MemberId":2755435,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"johnsen","SubmittedDate":"09\/02\/2010 16:46"},{"Comment":"
