I halved this recipe and used saltine cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs. I did bake it a little longer than called for, I don't think I chopped up my vegs. fine enough. Thanks for a yummy dinner. I served this with Creamy Corn in the Crockpot and Teriyaki Salmon.

A very nice dish. The flavor was mild and cheesy, and the presentation was lovely too. I halved the recipe, and used smaller peppers and onion. For a change next time I might add a little pepper flakes, but this dish really doesn't need it. Thanks, Evelyn for sharing your recipe.

I loved this recipe. I made it last night and it was perfect. I changed a few things but that is jsut the way I am. I didn't really want peppers in my casserole so I left them out. I used cracker crumbs instead of bread because I had them. I also added celery and carrots. It was so pretty and tasted so good. Thank you for an addtion to my "keepers".
