Delicious as is, or easily adapted to ingredients on hand. Great!

Reviewed for PAC Fall '06. I enjoyed it, but I thought the Worcestershire sauce was such a prominent flavor that the rest of the ingredients were overwhelmed. What I didn't realize until after I posted the review, is that I forgot the cheddar cheese on top! I love Worcestershire and cheddar! I will fix it again for sure. ~Part 2~ After having the leftovers(with cheese!) for lunch at work, I revised my rating upward. With a little extra time for the flavors to meld, The worcestershire smoothed out nicely.
