We had this for dinner last night and it was well received. It was easy to make and very good. However, I think this recipe could be more. Next time I think I will add some celery and sliced mushrooms. Maybe even some onion. What you add to these is only limited by your imagination. I used seasoned italian breadcrumbs which made it a little salty. Next time I will use plain breadcrumbs. Overall a very simple, delicious meal with lots of possibilities.
