I don't see why this whole thing can't be done in a Dutch Oven. No need to dirty
a separate baking dish. Since there are only two of us here, I cut this recipe in half,
and left the cooking times the same. I thought it was pretty good and will be making
it again.
Recipe is from "The Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese Cookbook" By Kraft, Inc., 1981
