"A delicious dish filled with eye-appealing colors and a taste that makes even a large batch disappear first." - Rita Wilken In a skillet over medium heat, saute the onion in butter until tender.

Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the next 8 ingredients. Divide between two ungreased 13x9x2" baking pans. Stir 2 cups of water into each pan. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1½ hours. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes or until cheese melts.
