This was very nice and we enjoyed it, but I felt there was something missing. Don't know or that could be onion, garlic, lemon or something else. Used more cheese for the topping then the recipe asked for.

This was a very tasty dish that I will make again. I didn't have the "real thing" & didn't want to buy it so I used "cooking sherry". Next time I'll probably use half & half instead of evaporated milk.
