Very good. Used cream of mushroom soup cuz that's what came out of the pantry first, red bhutan rice and drained canned peas. I found it was a tad bland so I added about 2 tsp of Toney's seasoning and some garlic granules. Also added about 1/4 cup diced onions (didn't have any onion powder). White rice and frozen peas would make it prettier but is tasted great.

This looks good, but I was wondering what the garnishes were at the very end, on top of the baking dish..? Looks like a sliced red pepper or tomato (something red, sliced) and some kind of fresh herb sprig, possibly rosemary?

Hi there! When the Test Kitchen made this recipe, we garnished it with a couple of sweet pepper rings and fresh thyme. Enjoy!

This is a good casserole to keep handy especially for leftover chicken and turkey. I've subbed in yogurt or sour cream for the mayo and quickly did some instant rice for the regular, no potato chips? fried onions or bread crumbs work equally well, espaecially if you toss the bread crumbs with melted butter and parmesan.

I'm always looking for new casserole recipes to try, and this one looks like it'd be a hit!

Yes, exactly! I need to make two at a time so one is in the freezer, because I just can't cook every day! the crushed potato chips on top don't sound too appealing, but then corn flakes don't either, and there's a really good potato casserole with sour cream with them on top.

Can I substitute sour cream or Greek yogurt for part or all of the mayo instead?
