Made this the first time for Thanksgiving. It received a bug thumbs up from everyone in attendance. I made it pretty close to the original recipe since this was the first time. However, I did add a little cracker crust thing to the top. Melted some butter and crushed a bunch of Better Cheddar crackers into it. Sprinkledthe mixture on top of the dish with about 15 minutes left to bake. It was a very nice addition to our Thanksgiving table. Thanks for the great recipe!

Excellent recipe. Some people have commented on how close (or not close) this recipe is to the actual Jack Stack recipe. It is not the exact same. The main difference is that the Jack Stack recipe is gluten free so it does not use flour.

I wish there was a gluten free version since I know people who have a gluten intolerence, and I would love to be able to serve this to them.
