"Every week when the new tv guide would come out, (this would be back when it was only 25 cents) the first thing I'd do is turn to the back of the magazine to check what the recipe of the week was. It was usually recommended by a celebrity. Don't let the amount of milk scare you off. It really works perfectly....otherwise I wouldn't still be making it. NOTE: This works well frozen and reheated."

This is very good, although as mentioned by a previous reviewer, it is quite a loose mixture. I think, however, this would be a perfect make-ahead dish ... I had made double the amount, as the children had friends over, but at the last minute, I ended up with two people less than expected! So although everyone ate well, I had leftovers, and I can see today that the texture is much firmer. The taste is delicious though, and it is a nice creamy texture. I was perfectly happy with the Italian herbs, I used plain sweetcorn, and because DH had done some prep without looking at the recipe, I added the grated carrot he had so kindly prepared (with the onion), and just before covering the mixture with potato, I added a cup of frozen peas, because I like a lot of veg. Very nice recipe, Diana, thank you for sharing!

Sorry...It was way too runny (no soup as a binder?) and the Italian herbs ruined the dish.
