I've made this many times for potlucks because it is a vegetarian meal and also just plain ol' delicious! We top our servings with diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce instead of the yogurt or sour cream recommended here. Either would be fine and just gives a bit more personal touch depending on taste buds.
