Just a good old fashioned, down home potato salad recipe that brings back memories of picnics in the park and family gatherings. Wonderful as it is or make it your own by adding additional ingredients of your choice.
Let the aroma of this savory soup waft through your home while you get ready for the holidays. 'I only have to slice some bread and prepare a salad to have dinner ready,' writes Paula Zsiray of Logan Utah. 'For a thicker soup, mash half of the garbanzo beans before adding them to the slow cooker.'
The crunchy topping on this side-dish casserole gives way to a cheesy interior, resulting in a comfort food winner. A bonus with this dish is that you can make the casserole ahead--assemble and refrigerate it until time to bake. Sprinkle the cornflakes over the casserole just before baking.
'I love combining different foods to see what I can come up with,' writes Carolyn Wilson from Lyndon, Kansas. She puts last night's mashed potatoes to delicious use in these slightly crisp golden brown cakes.
Bake the potatoes and shred the cheese the day before making the soup. If the soup needs to simmer awhile on the stove, you may need to add more chicken broth.
