Other than adding an extra piece of bacon, and adding a teasppon of chili sauce with the worchestershire sauce to this made reciope as printed. Very pleased with the outcome as we all enjoyed this after a long day at an air and water show. Loved the fact that it is in expensive too with great taste. Thanks for sharing . Made for Zaar Stars.

The whole family loved this great casserole! I don't care for onions so left them out, otherwise made as specified. You are right on in your description - quick, easy, inexpensive, yummy! Served as the main course over cornbread and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe!
