A customer said of this casserole recipe:
“This was really, really good. I used all fresh veggies from the farmers market and from our garden. I used a mixture of Monterey Jack cheese and sharp cheddar for the topping, and when it was done, I sprinkled the top with freshly chopped basil. We had cornbread to sop up the juice! A real garden-fresh treat.”
