I didn't have all the ingredients so I substituted with what I had in my refrigerator, red onion, celery, green peppers,wheat bread crumbs, following the basic recipe as close as I could and it was wonderful! Fast to make, pop in the oven to bake and 35 minutes later a great looking entree that I served with a green salad. A real hit!
