Delicious. I didn't quite have enough mayo and used italian seasoning instead of the basil and oregano and it turned out wonderful. I've made it twice and both times I've had people ask for the recipe.

This was very good. I did add onions, peppers and mushrooms and it gave it more flavor. I also halved the recipe as I was cooking for just two. I wasn't sure what to expect from this recipe but it turned out to be a pretty tasty meal!

This was really good!I made half of it with italian bread and the other half with very low carb, high fiber wheat bread. Both were equally delicious and the wheat bread lowered the carbs a great deal so that my dieting husband could enjoy a generous portion. I hate mayonaise and still enjoyed this dish. My family absolutely loved it (they all love mayo.)and has already asked me to have it again. I will also add green peppers and mushrooms next time! Thanks Fluffy!

Really good and very easy. I made the recipe exactly as posted - I bet it would be good with the addition of mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc. as well. Thanks for posting.
