This delicious, easy recipe was a hit with EVERY SINGLE one of my family members. They could not get enough of it and suggested we eat it weekly. My friend, Julie, sent me the base recipe and improvised when I didn't have the cream soup it called for, I made my own Jalapeno cream soup. We don't tend to be a casserole family aside from egg casserole and lasagna, but this was amazing. There were no leftovers and all 7 of us had seconds...nearly unprecedented. My only regret is that I didn't take a photo.
