I made this last night and it was delicious!! I may have used 9inch pan though because the bread crumbs were a little much. I love a crusty topping, but 2 cups plus cheese was a too thick. Great recipe and it certainly will serve 6

First of all, this dish looks outstanding! I'll give it a spin soon.

But...what's with all this cautionary advice about adding greens? This dish is a BIG butter, cream, and cheese carb bomb! Just relax and man up. Don't wimp out - leave the greens in the fridge - you won't explode. Imagine, a cool fall night, a glass of nice simple red wine and a big bowl of this...now you're living.

Next morning, get your butt up on the treadmill and have a salad for lunch. That's the way to do it!

Ummmm. Yes please. Thank you.

Martin's Kettle cook potato chips are thick and good.

Brassy was pound for pound the greatest hound dog the world has ever seen. He pursued food with ingenuity, stealth and sheer athleticism. Once Marcia and I picked up a Carnegie Deli corned beef sandwich for Vicky, who was convalescing and had expressed that somewhat out-of-character craving. Before I had two feet in the door Brass charged like a wounded tiger and leaped impossibly high, given his short legs and considerable girth. I pulled my arm up in the nick of time, saving Vicky's lunch, but Brass earned my eternal respect that day. RIP, Brassy. We'll miss you.

Brass's story brought bake lovely memories of our wonderful "Puppy" - a mixed breed terrier of dubious parentage and who blessed our lives for 19 years. She, too, was a serious eater, and our favorite Puppy story is the year that she was left in our van with a gift wrapped FIVE POUND box of See's Candy for approximately two minutes, while I stepped out of the van to mail some letters. In that two minutes, Puppy managed to open the box of candy and devour every single piece! Thank God she was not chocolate sensitive. We took her to the vet, who said basically to wait and see what happens. What happened was that Puppy went home and slept for about two days straight and following that short rehab period, was fine. I'd like to say she never tried to eat any more candy, but that would be a lie, since no food was safe from her skinny little terrier self. I still miss her very much twenty-five years later.
Thank you for the lovely story.

My favorite obit ever. May we all be remembered for such a well lived life.

I once walked into Ed and Vicky's kitchen and caught Brass actually pushing a chair closer to a counter so that he could climb up and reach some food!

A sandwich "shared" with Brass always tasted better. I hope he's sharing one with Jasper right now.

My sincere condolences.

When I lost my dog, it took me ages to finish a whole sandwich by myself...he knew he would always get the last bite, and would wait patiently for it.

I am so sorry for your loss and hugged Wags a bit closer tonight, Losing a pet is not easy and my heart is with you!. Doesn't make it any easier, but on reading the above - lots of us care!

PS, my daughter has a black lab that does the dishes too. It's a trip to watch.

Oh, Ed... My heart goes out to you and your family. I have my own furry "first rinse cycle" and he's 12. He, too, is a Serious Eater my BF insists I turned him into an Italian because his favorite food is bread - The crustier the better.

(((Hugs to you.))) And all who know this kind of hurt.

I'm so sorry. I had to put my dog to sleep about 1 month ago also. I feel your pain.
