This is so super easy made, plus it works well to put in an aluminum pan to take to people, and It works very well to freeze some for a later date. Before leaving for vacation I like to have one in the freezer and let it thaw on the cabinet while the car is unpacked. Then add the toppings and bake. It is a complete meal, especially with a salad, cold slaw, or even raw veggies.
