My family LOVED this simple casserole. Our store did not have savory, so I substituted a scant measurement of poultry seasoning & used about 1 cup mild cheddar.

I didn't have savory, so used sage instead. It was absolutely delicious. My husband and I both went back for seconds.

I've made this recipe several time! It's absolutely delicious! I had to buy savory for this dish, too, but it was well worth the investment. (I found it in the spice aisle - it's called "Summer Savory".) Absolutely a keeper!

Savory is a seasoning. You should be able to find it at your regular grocery store.

what is savory & where do you find it?

I purchased savory just for this recipe. This recipe is just delicious. I have made it for several potlucks and given it to several sick friends. Everyone who has ever tried it loves it, even my picky 5 year old!
