Loved this! My whole family loved it which is a rare delight! We will next time add some seasoning to the fish like pepper and such but it was so good! Thanks so much for posting!

This is so good! I added cooked mushrooms and peas, but this recipe would be delicious as is. Thanks for one that will be made many times!

I really liked this, but my husband ADORED it. I'm always begging for comments and he is usually too busy eating to praise, praise, praise, which is what I want. He stopped the dinner convo 3 times to talk about it. He even said, "be sure to add this to your regular repetoire." wow! It was easy, one dish, comforting yummy cheesy sauce with a great crust. tx so much!
