I got this recipe from my ex-wife's mother. People absolutely beg her to make this for family dinners and potlucks. It's so simple, she'll often just give them the recipe. The only thing bad about this recipe is there are never any leftovers. You can use as much or as little cheese as you like, but we like to cover the entire thing with a healthy layer of cheese.

This is a really good side dish recipe. My family liked it a lot. It was quick, easy, and all the ingredients are readily available in our pantry. I wished I would have boiled the herbs a bit longer to soften the thyme a little more. But you're right Captain, there were no leftovers. Served 6-8 people. Read More

I needed something quick to take to a funeral. I had everything on hand & so easy & quick to put together. I did add crushed potato chips on the top then sprinkled some cheese on top of that. I thought it might need a little texture. They were gone fast. Thank you for sharing. I personall perfer a recipe I have with fresh potatoes but the difference is not worth the time involved.
