Sprinkled with cheese qualifies it as a gratin, providing the top is
browned.

gratin; gratin�e
[GRAH-tn (Fr. , gra-TAN , ), grah-tee-NAY]
A gratin is any dish that is topped with cheese or bread crumbs mixed
with bits of butter, then heated in the oven or under the broiler
until brown and crispy. The terms au gratin or gratin�e refer to any
dish prepared in such a manner. Special round or oval gratin pans and
dishes are ovenproof and shallow, which increases a dish's surface
area, thereby insuring a larger crispy portion for each serving.

My oven doesn't reach that temperature so I'll assume you punched
too many zeros.

Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to snag it and plan ahead the next
time I make pork chops or steak. It's a good accompaniment for
either.

Chicken & rice is on the menu tonight.

I've got to come up with a clever idea for ground beef tonight. I don't eat
meat, so it's just for my husband. Meatloaf, meatballs and hamburgers, to
me, are getting a little tired and we've got nothing to cook with in the
house, so I'm going to get creative. :~) (I feel like Frankenbeefstein!
<insert maniacal laughter here.>)

In other words, you can't fire porcelain in it. Pity! :-)
