It looks like an old fashion bread or loaf pan. I have a similar enamel type one of my grandmothers! :)

This recipe was FABULOUS! I added two cloves of minced garlic, salt and pepper, and a layer of sliced portobello mushrooms.

I have made this recipe several times now and my family absolutely loves it. Recently one of my children brought a friend over for supper and informed me he was a vegetarian since my family are all serious meat eaters this posed a bit of a challenge for me. I made this recipe and he asked me for the recipe for his mother. Thanks so much
