Definitely delicious! Used Swiss cheese and increased the Dijon; yummmy. Made for ZWT3.

This is old fashioned comfort food at its best. We loved it. Thanks Terese.

Very good, I left out the parmesan cheese and used 2 1/2 cups Colby-Jack cheese and ground nutmeg. Impossible to obtain fresh netmeg to grate. I will make again.

Simple to make and delicious. Could easily add other vegetables or even pasta :-)
