This one was worth the standing over the hot stove. I will delete the oil next time and only use the butter; the finished product was oily. My picky sons gave this a "Thumbs Up, mom". It was better on the second day (of what was left". So make it ahead of time and give the flavors a chance to blend.

This was a good recipe but had to cut out the oil, 1/4 cup of butter was enough. DH said there was a little to much pepper so next time I'll try 1/4 ts of black pepper. Thanks for a good recipe that will be made often. Made for Spring PAC 2008.
