  1. I made this over the weekend & it was pretty yummy. I’ve been eating leftovers for a couple days now & it actually gets better each day.

  2. This one was gobbled up quickly tonight! Even my picky daughter ate it and asked for seconds! Definitely a winner…

  3. We love this recipe but it turns out so runny. I want to make it for company and am wondering if anyone out there has any possible adaptations to make it less runny?

    1. Hi Lois, I wonder if you cut the Roma tomatoes in half and then squeezed out the juice and seeds before dicing them if that would help it be less runny?

    2. Mine always is runny as well. I usually just use a baster & take the juices off after it thaws or as it cooks & it reduces that runniness a lot!

  4. Really tasty and one that I will repeat, but I agree there is way way too much liquid. I poured off what collected when it defrosted, then again before I put on the cheese. I think next time I may try to add some cornstarch or more flour to see if the sauce will thicken.
