Thanks for this recipe and I know we will love it. I'll be cutting it in half for the two of us and I love using my pretty individual casseroles for something like this.
I'm all set with the Amontillado Sherry.
Thanks again for sharing, Traveler.
 
Thanks, Traveler. Since Thanksgiving is coming up soon, I'm saving this to hopefully sub turkey leftovers for the chicken. Sounds really good!

Wow! There's a blast from the past! I haven't had Tetrazzini since a wine bar which was in the village around 30 years ago. It was my favourite.

Definitely going to have a go at this.
 
I'm sorry to have to say it, but tettrazini anything makes my skin crawl. Too many bad backpacking dinners of it.

Having said that, if that's all that was available, one please.
17 extra sherrys as well.

Well, my goodness. What do you expect from a dehydrated backpacking "dinner" ?:huh:
 
I' m not supposed to use canned soups anymore do to kidney issues. But, a homemade mushroom soup, using cream and water, diced button, and crimini mushrooms, and some wild shaggy meins, if avaialble, would make a fantastic tetrazini. I might add just a little Trinidad Maruga Skorpion pepper to it as well. Of course, again due to kidney issues, I'd have to leave out the ham. This sounds like something I could make easy enough. Thanks for the inspiration.

Chief, the chicken tetrazzini I've had and made had no ham or pork products at all. I don't think you'll miss it. It's still a very tasty dish.
