These were pretty good! The sauce ends up tasting very sweet, not what I was expecting. I actually used chopped up Vidalia onions instead of green onions. The only thing is that they didn't cook very evenly, but that could have been my fault, too.

These are wonderful... even my children, who are the pickiest eaters, loved them. Thanks, Marli!

These had a great distinctive flavour and are also easy to prepare in advance.
