You can’t go wrong with a casserole that contains cheese. That’s what I thought after viewing this recipe recently on a Facebook friend’s news feed. I had all the ingredients on hand except for the sour cream, so it was a no-brainer. The only substitution was six Gray (Hungarian) Partridge breasts in pl the chicken. I couldn’t have been more …
