Had this for dinner tonight, searched recipes based on the ingredients we had and this one was just perfect. Very easy to make - doubled the quantities so took longer to cook, but you'd expect that. I made a gluten free version using GF flour and it worked great and was yummy. I had hubby chopping up the vegies while I was preparing the base, then got him to do the washing up while I combined the mix, put it in the oven and put my feet up. Highly recommend using the hubby in this way! LOL
