• It was so good my son-in-law complained all night about eating to much.

• This is my husband's FAVORITE meal! It is a great dish to prepare ahead of time...we like it even better the next day.

• I have this recipe in my cookbook, listed under "Favorites". I prepare this all the time for my family. It is simple and although seems to have a similarity to lasagna, it does seem to taste different. We love it!!
