YUM!!!!! Blue cheese lovers unite! This is a good recipe. I like it with red pepper flakes for an extra kick. Also, for a side, I serve cool pineapple chunks. (Perfect with the cheese)

This was pretty good, but it needs a bit of tweaking. Strangely for a recipe containing blue cheese, the taste of the cheese is overpowered by other flavors in the sauce (namely, the onion), even though I added extra cheese. I roasted the onion at 350 for 40 minutes. It was tender (so I think I roasted it long enough), but the onion flavor was very strong and dominated the dish. Sauteing the onions in olive oil might make a difference; also, I think that 1/2 of a medium onion would be enough. This was a fast, easy meal...just not quite to my taste. Thanks for posting!
