Superb! We loved it. I was skeptical at 1st about only 1 can and 1 cup of milk for both pans,,,but believe me it's perfect! I froze both of them,,,and had no time for cooking so I made one tonight. So quick and easy to make. I love this recipe! Thank you so much for posting. Will make again,,,and again,,,and again lol.
