I'm not a big fan of dishes that have a lot of tomato sauce (unless it's spaghetti sauce) so I was thrilled when I came across this recipe. The original recipe did not have toppings of either the canned onion rings or the Ritz Crackers combined with the butter (1 sleeve Ritz Crackers combined with 1 stick of melted butter). You may choose one or the other or not use a topping at all. This dish does make a lot so it's good dish to serve if you have a lot of people to feed.
