Hi Gator,
There are so many variations of this casserole, but here are two for you to try. The second has cream of mushroom soup and French fried onions - you can omit the onions and add cheese on top for the last 5 minutes of baking.
If neither are it, please feel free to post again with more details.
Happy Cooking!
