Several years back, some older ladies at my church made my family a delicious casserole. I figured out the recipe by searching online, but have since lost it. I tried to recreate it the tonight, but it just didn't taste right. I know the original for SURE had celery, water chestnuts, slivered almonds, and Ritz crackers. I'm pretty sure it was also a chicken and rice-based casserole, because it was definitely the main dish, and not a veggie side dish like many of the recipes I'm finding online. So, for the one I made tonight, I started with this side dish recipe: http://ift.tt/2gOU4IT but added chicken and rice.
It was okaaaaay, but just not as good as I remember the original being. It also didn't really stick together (I added more soup to make up for the addition of rice, but it was still much more like a stir fry than a casserole.)
What am I missing? It was so delicious...ultimate comfort food.
bon appetit
