Terri , I will admit , I had my doubts about this , but it just sounded so interesting I had to try it. I am SO glad I did!! This has a zippy flavor and creamy comfort on top, all in one! My husband isn't a huge fan of tomatoes, but he gave it a thumbs up also and said he'd like it again! Daughter also said it was really good! I think I'll wait til the price of tomatoes goes down before I make it again though! *LOL* Very easy dish to put together! Thanks for a great addition to my cookbook! Prepared for PYC event , 2004
