I followed the recipe (crustless) as exact as I could. I used the canned tomatoes. I wasn't sure whether "dry seasonings" included the bread crumbs and cheese, so i added those on top. I put salt and pepper on each layer, and it was totally tasteless. Sorry, but as much as I'd like to, I just can't give this a better rating on this end.

I prepared this crustless and found it very easy to make and it tastes wonderful.

Good. Easy. I used only a crust on the top.

This has a wonderful, unexpected flavor! I prepared crustless (and left out the breadcrumbs to reduce carbs). Thank goodness I made a double batch and have one in the freezer now. This is a real winner!
