"This is a side dish that I have not tried yet, but it looks so good. It makes 6 side servings but it you could easily add cooked chicken to it to make it a main dish for 4."

This worked well for my family. I added garlic like a previous reviewer suggested, and I thought it was a good addition. Maybe next time I'll try adding cheese as also was suggested. So many possibilities! But all in all, this is a very tasty dish that goes together really quickly. And my kids loved it as much as DH and I loved it. Made for Kid Friendly tag game Jan 2009.

Made for PAC Spring 08 This was really good! I would add a little salt, garlic and cheese next time. It has a sweet taste, it was really good though. I really loved the bread crumb top. My camera was not working right so I don't think I will post that picture. Did enjoy this and will make again, thanks!
