100% would make again

Folks go back for seconds of this meal-in-one casserole with its down-home flavor, rich sauce and golden topping. I always bring home an empty dish. -Ruth Andrewson, Leavenworth, Washington

Not good at all. I followed the recipe to the letter, but there wasn't much flavor to it.
