This was pretty good. I didn't like the crackers on the top, but other than that, it was amazing. Although, my brilliant mother suggested unhealthifying it and putting crushed potato chips on top instead of the crackers, and I think I'll do that next time. But I do plan to make this one again. It was yummy and really easy.
