Expert Tips

Steamed green or yellow beans, broccoli, asparagus or snap pea pods would be in good company with this robust casserole.

For quick cleanup, line the casserole with heavy-duty aluminum foil, and grease or spray with cooking spray before filling and baking.

This was horrible! I was hesitant looking at the ingredients and the reviews; and I wish I would have listened to my gut instinct!! This is so bland and just a mushy mess! A real waste of ingredients and time! It smelt good while cooking snd we were ready to dig in thinking maybe it'll surprise us; but man were we let down! (I have a family of 5) I was very disappointed with this recipe which is strange because this is the first Betty C recipe that turned out bad for me! I gave it a one spoon rating for ease of preparation and great use of things on kept on hand but the taste rating would be a negative 5 spoons!!!

This was really fantastic. Any time you find a family of four consisting of adults, 13YO girl and 11YO boy agreeing that its delicious, you know you have a winner. I am surprised by previous comments that it was dry and lacking flavor because the batch I made was moist and full of flavor. Will definitely be making it again.
