    I love all of your recipes. The only thing that would make them better is if you can list a “ballpark” time it takes to create these meals. I’ve gotten over my head a few times with some of your recipes that seem like they won’t take much time, but end up consuming my night. Thanks!

    Just made this and the reaction from the whole family was ‘Wow’!  Only thing I changed was I fried onion and garlic in butter then added it to casserole with the sour cream.   It’s gone onto our list of regular dinners, thanks.

    This recipe is delicious!

    A couple of suggestions to help make the instructions easier to follow:

    - Specify what size casserole dish you’ll need for this, as you’ll need a larger one (!).

    - It wasn’t clear what you do with the 4 TBSP of butter by how the recipe is written, and so I assumed it was to use with the onions (see the following).

    - Sauté the onions before you add the frozen vegetables, to ensure the onions get cooked enough and are soft.

    - Include amount of basic and garlic (as well as the type of garlic–fresh chopped? powder?) that you typically use would be great for us new to cooking.

    Thank you for all of your great recipes and articles. :)

    Does this Chicken Broccoli Casserole fair well if you freeze it and try to reheat?
    Thanks & Blessings,
