It was delicious! I doubled the recipe and dropped some off for some friends suffering with the dreaded H1N1. They were delighted about how good it looked and smelled! I served it with a bacon, onion, green bean dish topped with sour cream and chives. It was pretty perfect. And of course my hubby had a dinner roll. Thanks for the recipe!
