I've been making this for quite a few years and it was always a favorite with the family. I can't believe I haven't posted it! The smell of the mixed ingredients is intoxicating and you may be tempted to eat it before baking. Rest assured it is even better after it is baked. Since this recipe makes quite a bit, I will also tell you that it is most excellent the next day for lunch with a bit of grated cheese on top!
