Made this last evening to go with Recipe#311633#3116333 and Recipe#363728#363728. I did add a little more garlic (DH and I love garlic) but other than that I followed the recipe. It was a delicious and easy recipe to fix. I will definately make this again but I would probably add some minced jalapenos for a little zip. Thank you. Made for Fall Pick A Chef 2009.
