Mom shared this recipe with me after many years of making it for company. I always thought there was more to it that made it such a special occasion dish, but come to find out, it’s easy and no-fuss! This is an excellent meal when served with a fruit salad, French bread, and/or a tossed green salad.

- 2 (10.5 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 11×7-inch baking dish.
