Great dish. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh but have never heard of this before, so I thought I'd give this a try, now that I live an ocean away from my hometown. I didn't have any pimiento strips on hand so I substituted a diced, sauteed red bell pepper and it tasted just the same. I also couldn't bring myself to use processed cheese spread (despite my Pittsburgh roots, I'm a bit of a foodie purist), sorry! I used a mixture of white cheddar and swiss- this was nice. There are two small things that I would do differently when I make this again: I will saute the onion instead of boiling it as the boiled onion lacks aesthetic appeal and does not add as much flavorful punch as it could have. Also, I am going to top this with at least a cup of breadcrumbs next time; the crispy, crunchy breadcrumbs on top really complete this dish. I only used a small amount and wish that I had added more. Crushed Ritz crackers would be really good instead of breadcrumbs, too! All in all, we definitely liked this and it made us feel a little closer to the Burgh! Thanks for posting, yinz!

My all time favorite cookbook would have to be the Cake mix doctor. I love to bake.
