I made this casserole because I love verenika's and had high hopes. The original recipe did not have light anything, was made with margarine instead of butter and did not have the onion topping.
The taste was not bad, but the texture of the dish was pretty bad. The cottage cheese stayed lumpy, so the casserole looked like very runny scrambled eggs.
Does anyone have any ideas how to make it with a more appetizing appearance?
