My notes:
**I used fresh red pepper, and sauteed with onions instead of putting in later.
**I used reduced fat parmesan, tasted fine. I actually mixed it in. How would you sprinkle 3/4 cup??!! Next time, I'll try less cheese. Maybe.
**MY KIDS ATE IT!!!!!
**This could easily be a main dish, with a side salad.
**Fast, yummy, and cheap!
