This was very good, Everybody loved it and my sister, who doesn't like anything even asked for the recipe. The only changes I made were, I added a chopped red bell pepper, use 1.5 cans of thick and zesty tomato sauce and crunched up some tostitos on top when I baked it. It was a little dry for my tastes, so next time I will double the tomato sauce. But I will definately make this on a regular basis.
