Dear Jeanette – instructions clearly state “or individual casserole dishes (about four)” thus a wild guess is that this casserole might serve 4.

My family really liked this casserole.

Gary, the person who added in the time, did bad math or perhaps it is the new common core math where you kind of estimate things. Thank you for noting the math error and the weird character in the recipe. I have corrected this.
