I made this last night for my family and it is absolutely amazing!! I have dental issues and am highly limited on what I can chew. This is what we like to call in our home a “family favorite”. I’m actually sitting here eating some leftovers for breakfast as I type this comment!! Thank you so much for this lovely dish.
This is a great recipe! I didn’t have any zucchini so I used butternut squash. I shredded a cup and cubed a cup and followed the recipe as directed. Awesome! Thanks!
Made the venison bake tonight. Used elk instead. Also didn’t have cream of mushroom so used cream of onion instead. Made it the way u said and my wife thought it was a very tasty meal. I thought it was the perfect home feeling meal that I was craving. (AND IT’S MONDAY! Haha..) Thxs for the recipe. Loved it. Art
Art – I’m glad both of you liked it… I’m going to try it with cream of onion soup. That sounds really great. I have a tendency to make casseroles like this in the Fall and Winter months. They give me that feeling of warmth and home to. Happy Holidays to you and your family!!! ~Kristy
