I got this recipe 4 decades ago off of a half and half container. THANK YOU for making it so easy to find. I have loved it for MANY years and some of my long time friends have remembered it, sooo I was looking for the recipe. THANK YOU -
My 11 year old LOVES this. Has requested several times. I used 1 can of chilies, and 1 can of jalapenos the 2nd time I made this. (what I had on hand). Really good. Thanks for a great recipe -
This was SO good, just like all of your other recipes I've tried. Not really eggy at all. Great flavor. I made it ahead and popped in the fridge til I was ready to bake it. I will be making this again for sure. -
Enjoyed this while visiting CHef ~V....very tasty especially with your spicy dip! :) Can't wait to make this again. Nice recipe, leftovers were just as good. CAn be garnished to your tastes, as another reviewer mentioned. A dollop of salsa, sour cream or a spicey creamy dip (Like V's) are just perfect! -
I saw this recipe in the Fresno Bee, so wanted to try it, and I'm SO glad I did! DH not only had seconds, but has asked that it be put into a regular rotation.

I made this according to the recipe. It needs salt, pepper and maybe salsa instead of tomato sauce.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
