This recipe works very well, though it was too bland for me. That's my personal taste, though, so not reflected in the star rating; could easily be adjusted for each cook's tastes by tinkering with the spices. My husband quite liked it, and we both found it rather filling. I cut it in half and got two generous dinners and a lunch. I had some leftover corn bread, and since ours is quite buttery, dried and crumbed that for the breadcrumbs, and that worked well.

I have been planning to make this for awhile now and I'm so very glad I did. This was a very filling meal! I added an extra can of tuna and 1/2 cup more of the peas. For the buttered bread crumbs I added 2 tablespoons melted butter to them. You need a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish as it overflowed a little in my 2 quart bowl. I'll be making this one again for my family. Thank you for sharing this with us. Made for the 1-2-3 Hit Wonders 2007 game.
