This is an excellent concoction! My guests loved it so much I had to give them a "take out" bag - reluctantly! I used Romano and Parmesan together - it rocked. Thanks, Linda!

I have made this several times now and it always gets rave reviews. It is a BIG recipe I cut it down sometimes...which takes a little finagaling but turns out fine. Girls at stamp club gave this 5 stars also. I am making it again this weekend for a family party.

I guess I should have read the past reviews better and changed the recipe. I assume if someone rates it well they did exactly as the instructions said. This was not good. The spinach and cream of mush soup overpowered this recipe and I knew before adding them I would hate the canned mushrooms but I did it anyways. They enhanced the soup flavor and added a bad canned mushroom flavor. I have been trying to find a dip recipe and will probably stear clear of any with soup in the ingredients. I gave it two stars because my husband and sdaughter ate it, but they love me:)
