Michele, did you make the full recipe or half? It certainly looks good

I actually made a half recipe as it was for lunch and only DH and myself. I didn't want any left over to try and find room in the freezer for it. It made two very generous serves with a very small seconds for DH.

Thanks, so for 4 as an entree, would 1/2 be ok.
