A Main Dish or a Dip?

I made this yummy dish last night for dinner and we loved it. Let me retrace my steps actually, while my Mom and I loved it my husband thought it seemed more like a "dip" than a main dish, but what does he know!

All in all though we all cleaned our plates. This dish can also be made earlier in the day and reheated for meal time which is so helpful. My husband was onto something though, because tortilla chips served with this to scoop up all that goodness isn't a bad idea.
