@FoodRenegade – Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the great tips. We will have to try that next time. Seems cheaper and pretty easy.

And yes… “YAY for eating in!” – we totally agree!

We make something similar, but we swore off the canned cream soups a LONG time ago. Ever read the ingredients label on those?

Instead, we make our own cream sauces in about 5 minutes (really!). Just make a roux of equal parts melted butter and flour, then add cream or milk. Cook over medium heat until it thickens into a gravy, which you can then season anyway you like. To replace the tantalizing flavors of chicken & mushroom, we saute mushrooms in the butter before adding the flour & use a concentrated chicken broth for about 1/3 of the liquid.

For this casserole, we also stir in sour cream.

YAY for eating in! You not only save money, but you’re generally eating far better stuff that you would if you ate out anyway.
