This is comfort food- I did one variation - I made it in the early AM because I had a busy day ahead of me and needed a pop in the oven casserole. I placed it in a casserole, held it in the fridge and 35 minutes before dinner I sprinkled 3 tbsp milk over top, covered it with foil and heated it in a 350Foven, I used smoked Mexican Choizo sausage The red pepper was a mature HOT Serrano pepper. Wonderful flavor. Loved my dinner served with a bit of steamed carrots and Mushrooms peas. Great dinner thanks Harley Princess
