On 4/6/12 I made this recipe for mine and my SO's dinner. I was reading the recipe and thought that a 8x 8 inch dish wouldn't be big enough, so a 9x 9 inch dish was used and it was just the right size.Everything was layered as it was written.Since we like more of a golden color to our cheese, the oven was used instead of the microwave. For a bit of color, this was topped with lettuce,sour cream and tomato. We both liked the taste. Made for Spring PAC 2012. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "
