I made this for a dinner party with my parents and grandparents. Everyone really liked it. My mom even asked me to bring it for Christmas!

Yummy! Only made it once so far because it makes so much and isn't the healthiest vegetable with all the cheese and cream. Tastes good though.

I just love this recipe! It is so easy to make and is delicious. I made it for Thanksgiving and my father-in-law who doesn't like most vegetables, loved it and even ate the leftovers. He's still raving about it! Thanks!
