This was really good. I added a chopped tomato, otherwise I followed the recipe. This is one recipe I will try again.

This was delicious! I made two-one with chorizo and one with Brown and Serve turkey sausage-a little bit lower fat. Both were devoured! I served them with Seven Layer Dip for a Cinco de Mayo celebration and all were appreciated. Thanks, Molly53.

Made this for company this morning and we really enjoyed it! I added some jalapeno cheddar and some cayenne pepper because we like a lot of spice. Thanks!

This needs to be doctored. Very bland. It's edible but not enjoyable. Needs a better chef than me to improve this recipe.
