crossGluten free version: Do everything the same except: No creamed soups-use 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese. Instead of crackers-use four slices of frozen or fresh GFbread (mixed in a blender) for bread crumbs. I also mix everything together before I bake instead of layering. This is also really good using GF pasta instead of rice. You will love this recipe…gluten free or not…simply delish!! Gentle
