This is one of our favorite recipes! I am only cooking for two now and it was easy to reduce the amounts and bake in a smaller dish. (When I make half a recipe, it still gives us two meals.) I found that I bake it the same amount a time and sprinkle with a bit more cheddar cheese on top. Yum!

There are only 2 of us so I halvd this recipe. I cooked it 45 minutes total but other than that followed to a T. DH loved it and I also thought it was pretty good. Thanks for a good dinner.
