I do not cook. I recently became divorced from my wife and have my two kids 50% of the time. With the need to start cooking I searched and found this site. I have since made the broccoli casserole which I liked but, the kids didn't and this wonderful meal. The kids loved it and so did my brother and niece! Good stuff and easy to make! I love this recipe.
