      This casserole was one of my husband's favorite dishes at the MenUmen fundraiser we attended. It had a mild flavor enhanced by the cheese and the crumb mixture on top balanced the texture. There are only a few simple ingredients and the steps are pretty basic. This will be a "Must Do" on my list.
