  1. Tried this recipe and it’s an absolute must try. Seriously easy and fast. Oh and delicious!!! I added a couple seasonings to the sauce but overall will definitely make again. Five stars all the way.5 stars

  2. Just made and not only was it quick and easy, but also delicious!! Paired with some buttermilk biscuits and had a meal that was ultimate comfort food! Definitely will make again…and again…5 stars

  3. ok, but very bland. next time I’ll spice it up and maybe substitute some cream cheese for the sour cream.3 stars

  4. I used this recipe as a template.Great use of leftovers from barefoot Contessa’s roast chicken and vegetable dinner. Deglazed the pan from the roast chicken with the 2 cups of chicken broth and a half a cup of half and half added a quarter cup of flour and some thyme. Added back the roast, chicken and vegetables cut up and some frozen peas topped with boudin stuffing made according to pkg directions and baked. Super yummy

  5. This is a go-to recipe for me. If I don’t have sour cream available, I have just used milk (sometimes I add a splash of vinegar to sour it up a bit) and that works fine as well. This last time I added a layer of mashed potatoes at the bottom (with some cheese mixed in) and that was also wonderful.
