This was quite good. My family had never had quinoa and everyone enjoyed it, including the kids. My only neg thought with this dish is that it needed more celery and in larger pieces because I liked the crunch of it. It would be good for some texture.

Although I hate to be the one to say how a "recipe is great and here is how I modified it to make it so..." I loved this recipe because I think the sauce is what makes it so wonderful. I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets slightly cooked, mixed with the noted sour cream, cheese, and soup. I then mixed this with the croutons (only moistened with broth - it doesn't need butter - it so creamy otherwise!) I then put it all in a shallow baking pan and baked it as usual. The veggies were perfectly cooked - I don't like them soggy which I think you would get with frozen. Overall, it is the sauce that really makes this dish - it made things so cheesy and yummy! Thanks!

Very good, good comfort food. I did change a few things based on what I had on hand... Used shredded cooked turkey, sauted with green onion and black beans and a little bit of water, with homemade taco seasoning. And for the soup mix - used only 1 can of cream of soup and added a couple dollops of lite sour cream. and only 1/2 of the cheese. Definitely would have been too goopy as is. And it was a little salty. Next time will use low salt version of soup. Oh, and didn't have regular salsa - used TJ's salsa verde. Overall, very easy and quite good but I enjoyed the shredded meat and bean mixture to give it a little texture - otherwise would have been too mushy.
