    This is a fave from long ago for me (all hail the Sweet Potato Queens!) but I hadn't made it in years. I made it this past weekend for a funeral dinner (sure did) and it was perfection. Usually I make the rice too gooey but it was wonderful. Am making 2 pans of it tonight (5 kids) and I hope it does the same thing.

    The only thing I do differently is to halfway cook the bacon and chop it up into the casserole before adding the soup mixture. That way you get the taste but not all of the grease and/or wiggly bacon pieces you want to throw out. Thanks for putting this up on the webs!

    Made this recipe for our Halloween dinner. It smells really good while it`s cooking. The chicken was lovely and tender and hubby also described the rice as `risotto like`. But I`m afraid we just didn`t care for it. It was okay but not something I`d make again. It was easy to prep and nice that you can do it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven whenever you`re ready. More in IMI11.

    I made this exactly as written, but did not like it. The bacon was a waste and not edible at all, so I threw it out after cooking. The rice was good, but the chicken was stringy and chewy--moist-- but I did not like the texture. :(

    OMG Delicious!! and easy to make. I made homemade condensed soup, used the full amount of condensed soup and rice but only half the chicken (half the bacon and a smaller pan too) because I only cook for two. The rice was 'risotto like' and the bacon just melted into the rice mix. There were some fattier pieces of bacon but I just discarded them. The chicken was fork tender and so flavorful. The smell was amazing while baking and the taste incredible! Great recipe Clbacon!!!"

    Great recipe. On the street we lived on in SC everyone had a dish to make if there was a death on the street. I was assigned fried chicken. If the family came in and I was making fried chicken they always asked "Who Died"?LOL Thanks for the post.

    When the Goldminer's posting of this was listed on my "my stuff" page, I knew I had to print it out and make it for dinner! Thanks for the great post.
    I like Jencathen's idea of adding mushrooms.
