I didn't realize both recipes were from the same blogger.  Thanks for pointing that out.


Oh @VaBelle35 I appreciate anyone that opens up a new and interesting blog/website like this as I think it may just break me of my horrible cook book buying addiction . . . Smiley Happy

This might not be exactly what you're asking for, but it's a big-quantity  recipe that can be made ahead  and refrigerated before baking....and you can probably  improvise and embellish  it in many ways.  In my opinion (and in my kitchen), you could

 

-- add your own preferred vegetables  (green peppers, peas, carrots, etc.)

 

-- substitute fresh ingredients for some of the convenience ones listed in recipe

 

--increase the quantity of sauce  by adding another cream soup (celery maybe) and/or some sour cream or milk, which would enable you to serve it as a sauce over noodles, instead of topping the dish with mashed potatoes.  I have made similar dishes and prefer to top with buttered panko crumbs, crushed herb dressing, or crushed potato chips.
