Prepared this exactly as written. It was wonderful! I froze half of it after it was baked. Spritzed a little extra wine on it and reheated and served. Just as good as the first time. Thanks for sharing. I will make this often.

I served this in the office for a "pot-luck" dinner and it got RAVE reviews.... I added a couple of things to spice it up a bit, used chicken and mushroom soup, added italian seasoning, and used diced tomatoes instead of pimento, then topped it with a blend of cheese right before serving. My family wants it for Easter Sunday dinner now!
