  1. My husband refuses to eat it again. I did enjoy the celery in this dish but my husband and I both agree that cumin does not belong in it. And the bread crumbs on top with the cheese never melted and it was way too much. Crushed crackers might work but too little liquid in recipe for bread crumbs on top.
     
  2. Awesome!! This is fantastic. I needed something quick (meetings ran late!) I did not have bread crumbs or peas so I subbed Broccoli and Ritz cracker crumbs. This one is going on our family list!! Thank you.
