Loved this! As it turned out I did not have any hash browns or french fried onions. I put mini frozen turkey meatballs, tater tots, frozen green peas, and frozen green beans as the bottom layer in the casserole. Then I crumbled the bacon and scattered the cheese for the next layer. For the top layer I sauteed: 1 small onion, 2 celery ribs, 4 garlic cloves and one 4 oz can mushroom pieces in olive oil until tender. Add one can cream of mushroom soup, one can cream of celery soup and 1 cup milk. Pour soup mixture over top and bake until bubbly in center, about 50 to 60 minutes. Everyone in the household loved this one dish meal!

Great starter recipe! I made the following changes: I used my standard soup base/starter (onion and celery sauteed on EVOO with a pinch each of rosemary, thyme, marjoram and a bay leaf, add two chicken bouillon cubes, crushed, one 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes and two cups boiling water) then added three cups Schwan's mini bow tie pasta and vegetable blend and 1/2 package turkey hot dogs, sliced. My kids absolutely love it and I love that I can satisfy their never ending demand for hot dogs with something balanced and healthy. Thanks! :-)
