  1. Hi Christy, I am wondering if I could leave out the mushroom soup – (milk allergy) and if so, would I need to substitute some other liquid? Thank you for sharing you awesome recipes!

  2. Christy, I love your Flat Christy idea! I am also from Brownwood, TX. You can imagine my surprise when reading and saw that Flat Christy was in Brownwood! This is such an awesome way to learn about other readers. We should have all had a party. Lol

  3. Did I miss something in this recipe? I didn’t see any filler(bread crumbs, cracker crumbs or panko crumbs)..seems like there is a lot of liquids(soups).

  4. Hi, Christy! This is what is for supper this evening. Is Flat Christy still visiting people’s home? Maybe she would like to visit the Windy City (Chicago) while we are stationed here. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this and other meals with your Southern Plate Family. ♥

    Blessings,

  5. Dear Christy, I do not like mushrooms at all. Is there something else that I could substitute in this recipe for the cream of mushroom soup? Thanks!
