    WOW!! I absolutely loved this recipe! I'm not a big meat eater, so this is such an easy and amazing, filling vegetarian meal! Both my kids ate it too without complaining. Will definatly make this many times more to come!

    This was really good and well-received in my household! I will definitely make it again. Love the fresh veggies! I did double the chili powder.

    Overall tasted great. I added some extra spices so it wasn't so bland. I included garlic powder, oregano, basil, cayenne pepper, and extra chili powder. I also added some hot sauce too. As for the cheese, i substituted the Monterey Jack for cheddar. Next time I'll try a smoked Gouda.

    This is one of my favorite recipes EVER. It's easy, affordable and delicious! I like serving it with a dollop of sour cream and diced avocado or guacamole on top. Tasty!

    Did not have frozen corn. Used a can of Trader Joe's can corn. Used Ancho Chile powder, cumin and Penzeys southwest seasoning, drained the stewed tomatoes. We had it for breakfast the next morning with a fried egg on top and salsa bravo. A keeper.

    Have been making this for years, since the first time it aired. It is perfect for a vegetarian dinner with a salad and for a potluck dish.I serve it for meat eaters and they don't miss any meat for the meal as this is hearty and so substantial. I double the chili powder as we like spicy. You don't need to use yellow zucchini as green is just fine as is the Mexican Calabacitas,which means zucchini. I always double the recipe and use a large glass baking dish as it is so delicious we tend to eat a lot and you can freeze it if you make it in two containers for another meal. Adding meat as someone suggested to us, would ruin it. Trader Joes if you have them close as a great tube of prepared polenta.

    I love this recipe and have made it many of times. I have found that the dish has a much better flavor on the first day if you chop all the veggies the night before and season them with Chili Powder and Pepper. Then the next day I add a little more chili poweder whil I am cooking. The veggies seem to have a much better flavor when they sit in the chili poweder over night.

    This was my first RR recipe, and it was delicious! I'm a veghead, and this made a complete comfort food entree. I forgot the yellow squash, so substituted mushrooms. Would have eaten more if I weren't dieting, although this seems pretty lo-cal. Yummo indeed!

    I have made this dish a couple of times now and love it. I even made this for my boyfriend who is a die hard carnivore and it met with his approval. Very tasty and substantial. Love the use of polenta for the crust. Reminds me of old fashioned "tamale pie" from my childhood.

    Hey...I try new recipes all the time and this one was excellent. Not only was it loaded with flavor, it was low calorie and healthy too.. I know RR wouldn't have anything without flavor with her name on it. Yummo...
