Made a vegetarian version where I subbed beans in the beef recipe and it was great. Would definitely make again!

Saludos, Clara! Deseándole a usted y a los suyos unas felices Navidades y un prospero Año Nuevo! Este plato fue uno de mis predilectos que hacia Mama (EPD). Como yo jamas lo he hecho, usted me pudiera decir como puedo hacer uno para 12 servidas y en que medida de Pyrex debo de usar. Muchísimas gracias, Clara. Que Dios la bendiga. [Vivo en EU].
