This is from Sunset Magazine. They added gorgonzola cheese instead of the classic cheese sauce. This can be made a day ahead and kept in fridge until ready to bake.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese, maybe a cheddar or mozzarella.
