We had this tonight and both my husband and I loved it!! I didn’t see your response until it was already done crocking, so I didn’t add the cheese until it was already done. It was still delish! Thanks so much! I’m going to add it to my blog and link back to you! (We also made the Veggie Curry this week which was ah-mazing also!)

OK, let me get off my soap box and give you the recipe… […]

This was delicious. Easy to make and definitely pleases the crowd. And you need a crowd to finish it because it makes A LOT. I will cut the recipe in half next time. Would that reduce cooking time?
