We did not add the 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and cut back on the butter in the topping to 8 tablespoons. we cut back on the white sugar in the topping to 4 tablespoons, and it was still great! I think I will do more sugar next time, and a small sprinkle of salt in the topping, as it seemed to need it. We served it with half & half on top, sooo good, I will make this again and again. Don't be afraid to cut the butter some, if you are watching your diet like us!

wonderful. I will try to cut back on the butter next time as someone suggested though... because it is so good my husband and I each had a 1/4 of the whole dish. That's about 1/2 stick of butter each! Good splurge though! mmm...

Does this recipe need one more glowing review? You betcha! I was worried that the 12 tablespoons of butter might be too much, especially as it was baking and looking a bit too buttery. Those were needless fears--ended up looking as good as it tasted. I followed directions as written, and it turned out just right. Everyone enjoyed this one--thanks, cuisinebymae!
