i've been making a similar recipe like this for years now. i leave out the bottom layer of chips, they get too soggy when baked.

My family loved it! We usually have left overs for work the next day but there wasn't anything left, even my 4yr old granddaughter loved it wanted more.....

I really liked this recipe, it was really easy to make. I am dating a Chef and he is usually warry when I make food and he really liked it and had 3 helpings but next time I will invite people over, there are a tone of leftovers.
