    CJB As much as I appreciate the time the cook/chef took developing this recipe, my wife and I found it terrible. I covered it with hot sauce and Everglade seasoning just to finish it as not to waste the cost of ingredients. Please, try it for yourself, but we did not care for it at all. Reply

      Recipes.net Team Hi, CJB! We appreciate your feedback. We always strive to help make easy and delicious meals, and we’re sorry to have missed your mark! If you are a non-vegetarian, you can replace the oil with butter, vegetable broth to chicken broth, and top it with more cheese for a richer taste. Thank you! Reply
