These were amazing!! The hint of spice from the hot sauce (we used 3 good shakes) went so well with the Miracle Whip we used. Hubby made these for dinner last night and said they are super simple to make so they defintely pass the "husband friendly" test! The only thing we did different wa to leave out the mushrooms as hubby doesn't like them (I do plan on adding them to mine next time) and we used light Miracle Whip as that's what I had on hand. Thanks so much for a simple, satisfying, yet light dinner...we will definitely be making this again...and again!!!!
