I don't recall ever eating something like this at a Chinese buffet, so I can't compare it to that.....but, I did think this was rich and delicious! I did add some finely chopped onion and I think that gave it the flavor it needed. (Scallions would be great, too). The sugar balances out the lemon juice and worcestershire sauce. This makes a great dip for fried or baked wonton skins. Thanx for sharing!

This is really close to what they make at the Chinese Buffet near me but this one is MUCH better. This one is quality. Someone said they didn't like the worcestershire sauce but I couldn't even taste it. I'm sure it added some greatness to it so maybe try not putting as much in there if you don't care for it to begin with. I did add some garlic powder, and added extra of it too instead of garlic salt, used a little sea salt and added about 1/4 of a small red onion. We love onion in this house and put it in almost everything. This is a much richer recipe than the buffet but I think it's because they don't tend to add as much or quality ingredients. I also used low fat everything and it was still awesome. It might be a lot richer if you used whole fat ingredients. <br/><br/>Thanks for the recipe! It'll be a keeper in this house!

2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup each carrot match sticks, diced red bell pepper, & green onions 1 1/2 cup each Sharp Cheddar & a blend cheese of Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, Romano, Fontina & Asiago Cheeses Cook veggies in small amount of butter just until slightly tender before adding to the mix. Next time I'll probably add something like an old bay spice or at the very least some white pepper but I like spicy foods.

I tried this recipe yesterday and it turned out good. My husband loves casserole that they serve at our local Chinese better. I wouldn't say that this is exactly the same dish but it's not so greasy and more dense, and probably better, as for me. Also instead of cheddar cheese I used so called Mexican mix of cheeses. I believe that the taste of cheddar cheese can be a little bit overwhelming. Also the Worcestershire sauce was not unnecessary.
