Great recipe! I'm veggie, and always appreciate a delicious meatless dish! But you can cheat a bit and add those Morningstar Recipe Starter faux meat crumbles, if you want this recipe "meatier." This actually looks vegan, but if your friends eat dairy, a bit of Monterey Jack melted over it would be tasty. And a tsp of Worcestershire never hurt a dish...
