I'm sorry that I didn't get a picture of this last night. Our small group was ready to dig in when I took it out of the oven and I totally forgot. It was delicious and was completely gobbled up! But I promised the recipe and I know you'll love it!

This casserole sounds awesome. We have a Rachael Ray version that we make, but I made it last week and wasn't as thrilled with it as I usually am. Don't know what happened. Yours sounds better so we will definitely try it!
