Sort of surprised this did not wow. The response from those around the table was "meh". Needs more flavor.

My family really liked this. We used pizza sauce instead of pasta sauce, and mixed sharp cheddar cheese with the mozzy! I only had cuban bread on hand so that is what I used. Turned out marvelous! Next time I will be trying this buffalo style! Thanks so much for a quick, easy, and delicious recipe!
