The first time I posted this recipe I accidentally left out an ingredient, the cream of mushroom soup. My Pastor's wife brought this casserole to a Pot-Luck Dinner at our church and it was so good that I begged her out of the recipe. I would like to apologize to Susie D.

Tips:

Use fresh water chestnuts. Fresh water chestnuts have a crisp texture and a slightly sweet flavor. Canned water chestnuts can be used, but they will not have the same flavor or texture as fresh water chestnuts.

Slice the water chestnuts thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.

Sauté the water chestnuts in butter before adding them to the casserole. This will help to bring out their flavor.

Use a combination of cheeses. This will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese are all good choices.

Add some vegetables to the casserole. This will make it a more well-rounded meal. Diced celery, carrots, or peas are all good choices.

Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This will usually take about 30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Water chestnut casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover water chestnuts, and it is also a good source of protein and vegetables.
