This recipe sounds really good,perhaps if there are any like this for people like me that cannot consume any kind of dairy product as our bodies can not handle such stuff it would be wonderful to know. Thanks.

I loved this recipe!!! My grandma used to make something like this when I was a little girl and we never got the recipe. This is the first time I have come this close to hers and it is delicious. I added chopped celery to the saute and before placing in the oven and after removing, I added parmesan cheese. My mouth is just watering thinking about it...yummy dish!!!!

Great texture and the ingredients are a good mix- the only problem is it needs more flavor! I suggest adding some Heinz 57 sauce, hot sauce or any kind of spicing you want to add some zest to it- otherwise it is just kind of bland.

Not a hit at our house. It was easy enough to make but tasted bland. I won't be making this again. This is probably one of the first recipes that we didn't care for.
