I got the idea for this recipe from Razzle Dazzle recipes, but knew that the amount of meat listed would not be enough for my husband. So I built on the idea adding additional flavors of meats that I had on hand. It was a REAL WINNER. My husband loved it, as he does anything with lots of meat. The addition of the green peppers, Italian Sausage & Lean Breakfast Pork sausage enhanced the flavors of the dish immensely, not to mention the various cheeses I used with the Panko Bread Crumb topping. Using 2 types of onions also created more flavor, and made this a FOREVER WINNING RECIPE in our house.
