Cook 30 minutes

Cook's Notes: I use the original cream soup in most of my casseroles. I find that the lower fat and sodium products tend to be watery in casseroles. Okay to omit the Rotel and substitute all plain diced tomatoes; can also drain the Rotel to tone it down and just loosen the sauce a bit with some beef broth.
