What is the difference between dried onions and chopped onions flavor wise
Stephanie
I think dried onions tend to give a milder flavor.

This is one of those great recipes for evenings when you’ve got no time (or motivation) for wrangling the details of a complex recipe. This is simply chopping + sautee’ing a couple of veggies, then dumping all the store-bought ingredients into a pan and baking it up.
Tastes great, and is very satisfying. (Made mine with a can of cream of chicken soup, since we always have those in the cupboard.) As a bonus, it tastes just as good reheated for a microwaved leftover lunch.

I am a big fan of recipes like this. I don’t always like putting a lot of effort into a meal. This dish also tastes very good reheated. Which means it is a great dish to bring to work and heat up.

What’s the purpose of adding the soup – flavor or consistency? I’m not a fan of using canned soup in my cooking so I’m wondering why it’s added so I can come up with a substitution.

It gives the casserole some something to help it all stick together, and adds some flavor. If you don’t like this, you may want to add a simple white sauce that is flavored with onion or something like this.

Sounds good, except for the soup. Absolutely hate Cream of Celery soup. I’m assuming Cream of Chicken or C of Mushroom would do?

You can use any creamed soup you would like in this recipe. I suggested a few in the video.
