Wow...I thought I reviewed this! LOVED IT! Left out the chicken stock but followed to a T after that. It was great! Thank you!

Wonderful dish. I followed the recipe as stated, using fat free Caesar dressing and then spread crushed croutons on top of the dish.

Huge hit at our house! I did make some adjustments: used 8oz thin spaghetti, 1 cup dressing, 3/4 cup broth and omitted the onion and peppers (family preference). I also crushed up the croutons, which were garlic and cheese flavored. I sprinkled on some Italian seasoning to the top of the casserole before baking. I think DH ate 3 helpings. Thanks for posting!

Very good. I followed the recipe as written, but, I think the next time I make it I will add more Caesar dressing.
