The alterations I made was that I browned the beef first, drained it, then added 1 envelope dry onion soup mix, 1 can cream of chicken soup and 1 can cream of mushroom soup and left the onion out. I also added half a small can of French fried onions to the top which was added at the last 10 minutes of cooking along with a generous sprinkling of Cheddar cheese.

Delicious. I only used one chicken and did not marinate it at all. I halved the seasonings and did not coat the cavity. I baked the 6.5 lb. chicken at 350 degrees for around 2.5 hours without stuffing inside. It came out delicious! Great recipe.

I found this recipe too dense and too "yeasty" in my opinion. I followed the recipe to the letter. I didn't notice it being too sweet and I'm not a fan of sugar. I didn't use a mixer, but my own hands and added barely any flour to knead. I'm disappointed, especially when this recipe got so many good reviews. I'll probably try to make this once more.
