Made this recipe for my family. Even though the last review was negative. We enjoyed it tremendously. Decide next time instead of mushrooms and mushroom soup we’re going to make it with asparagus and cream of asparagus soup.

I was so excited to stumble across this on Pinterest as my boyfriend told me his favorite childhood recipe was "Seafood Casserole". I showed him the recipe and we both thought it sounded delicious. I made this for dinner this evening and it was SO bad that we had to order delivery. My boyfriend took one bite and he had to spit it out. The pasta to cream/soup ratio is totally off. I followed the recipe exactly. What a waste of expensive seafood.
