2 Tbsp bread crumbs - plain or seasoned
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dill weed
1 Tbsp melted butter
2 c cooked crumbled salmon - leftover is great or use a 14 oz can of your favorite salmon drained and remove bonesnes discarded)
1 can(s) condensed cream of mushroom or celery soup
2 Tbsp finely diced celery
1/4 c wafer thin sliced carrots
1/4 c frozen baby peas
1-1/2 tsp diced red onion - more if desired
2 c cooked al dente elbow macaroni
1/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp dill weed

1/4 c shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 c milk
1/4 c sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
**** please see note at bottom of recipe

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Coat a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
  • 2. In small bowl combine bread crumbs, garlic powder, dill weed and melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
  • 3. In a large bowl, remaining ingredients except for the last 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir together until well blended. Spoon into prepared baking dish.
  • 4. Spread the last 1/4 shredded cheese over the top of the casserole.
  • 5. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole. Bake covered at 375 for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Remove cover and return to oven for approximately 12 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbly.
  • 7. Remove from oven and sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
  • 8. NOTE: Add more seasonings than listed if you like them, add less or remove them if you don't like them. This recipe is not set in stone .. however ... I recommend you try it this way first and then adjust according to your individual tastes. If you make this recipe and choose to substitute chicken or pork for the salmon or if you add chocolate or hot chili peppers or Dr Pepper you will not be happy and it is not my fault you did not follow instructions so please do not leave negative feedback .. this is a fish dish. Thank you.
