Any suggestions on what to use other than ranch seasoning? My husband hates anything with ranch flavor.
I would use cream of chicken, mushroom or broccoli soup. Cream soups are always what I use in my casseroles.
I was thinking of using some Philly cooking creme, maybe even Italian flavor. I really like IHeartPublix, thank you.
I tried using the Philly cooking cream but it dried up 🙁 but it was still yummy
