It's what I just spent at the grocery store - I just did my major yom tov shopping. (And it could have been more, but I decided stuffed peppers are as yomtovdich as pot roast, given that one of my guests can't eat potatoes.)
I don't do that. jonbaker gets bored too easily. And I like being creative.
I'm actually not planning a kugel this yom tov at all, although I'm serving a (purchased) lokshen kugel for Shabbos. There's rice pilaf for the turkey because I don't want to stuff it, and the stuffed peppers will be served over noodles. Even if I'm also serving noodles in the chicken soup. Which I only make for yom tov, and haven't made in a year because I made a vegetable soup for Pesach.
I think I'll stick with rice. Everyone in the family likes it better anyway.
If you're curious, there's an article about kugel (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/28/dining/28rosh.html) in yesterday's The New York Times. But I warn you: I stopped reading at the claim that the kugel is the most spiritual part of the Shabbos seudah. Hah! Leave it to The New York Times.
There was a description of a lockshen kugel towards the end that sounded excellent to me: farmer cheese, duck eggs, and sour cherries. I haven't made kugel in years and now I totally want to.
