Been meaning to rate this for years-I make it for company!! Have shared it a lot. We love it. My husband tells his friends he's got to get home quick when I'm making it!=WOW!

This was excellent! Even better the next day. This recipe is definitely a keeper. My picky hubby even liked it. I did leave out the sherry when making it, because I didn't have any. One review said they thought the sherry was too strong and I'm glad we left it out. Overall, GREAT recipe and very easy.

My husband liked this recipe however I found that the Sherry was way too overpowering. Maybe cut the Sherry in half with water and it might be better?
