Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    If you want to make this a non-vegetarian meal, add some cooked ground turkey, beef or chicken to the layers.
  • Tip 2
    This is a great vehicle to sneak more vegetables into your children’s diet. Add grated zucchini, chopped tomatoes or any vegetables you have around. They’ll never know.
