I guess the combo of soup and mayo is substitute for the more upscale version.<BR/><BR/>This is a classic fifties recipe from a "woman's/homemakers" magazine, showing how to recreate a dish from a famous place by adapting it with the most favorite recipe ingredient in the South ( or at that time the entire country) Campbell's Soup.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am a southern girl, born and raised. I served my version of Chicken/Turkey Divan to my first husband over 30 years ago, using Knorr packaged Hollandaise and frozen broccoli. He loved it and it was CHEAP. This is also a good combination over a pan fried ham steak. Try that sometime, I'm sure you will love it.<BR/><BR/>Just found your blog today - don't know how - and I love it. I too re-purpose furniture and accessories. May send you some pics.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>JoanneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-12285394559581044002008-10-07T13:42:00.000-05:002008-10-07T13:42:00.000-05:00As kids we called this "chicken dive-out" because ...As kids we called this "chicken dive-out" because we didn't like it. :)<BR/><BR/>I bet I would enjoy it these days though!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355490512757848795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-31601938298673890512008-10-04T19:24:00.000-05:002008-10-04T19:24:00.000-05:00I love love love this meal.

Casseroles are the best when you have big families to feed. I also like that you can freeze them.
