Very bland. I added veggies and had to add a bunch of cheese, which turned it into a totally different recipe, but tasted better.

This is a nice dish to use your pantry items. I added panko and a little butter to the top. We didn't go for the ketchup - it just didn't seem right somehow!! Thanks for the recipe!

Made this for part of zaar world tour 2. It had good flavor but even after adding more broth halfway thru the cooking and covering it this was very very dry.
