This is really tasty & sinful, not for those watching their waistline. A nice alternative to scalloped poatatoes and simple to do too. I left the cheese off until the last 10 mins of baking and only used about 3/4 cup for a half serving of the dish. Next time I make this I will try & cut down on the fat a bit by using light ingredients, there was a a lot of oil/fat in this and it seemed to pool a bit in the bottom of the pan. It was still delicious but just a bit too fatty.
