I prepared this for a friend home with a new baby. Her and her family loved it and had already called and asked for the recipe before I got home from delivering the dish.

Made this tonight, added canned chicken and some yellow peppers with the onion - it was very tasty. Fast to put together, too! Thanks for a great recipe.
