I am giving this recipe 4 stars rather than 5 simply because, while it is really good as is, I like my doctored-up version better. As with most recipes, I like to give this one my own flare. I use a 7.5 oz. package of macaroni and cheese (Kraft or generic, it doesn't matter)instead of just macaroni. That gives the recipe an even more cheesy taste. Instead of the Cream of Chicken soup and the mushrooms, I use Cream of Mushroom soup. I chop up the onions, but also some celery, and I saute them in a fry pan with about 3 T. butter. Then when they are tender, I add the cooked and cut-up chicken and I fry it all together for a bit, until the chicken has some nice brown to it. Due to the fact that I use the store-bought mac and cheese mix that has the powdered cheese packet, I do add more milk than the recipe calls for (about 1-1/2 cups). At the end of baking, I sprinkle a mixture of butter and saltine cracker crumbs onto the top and bake about another five to ten minutes, until crisp.
Whoever "Walter" is, thanks for this yummy recipe! We need to submit a better photo of it for this site--the current one is not a very appetizing presentation. :-)
