"This is a quick favorite on busy nights. I tend to keep a bottle of the dressing in the pantry for this recipe so I can just throw together early in the day and pop in the oven when I get home. By the time everyone has settled in dinner is done."

I'm really riding the fence on this one. I didn't really care for it, but hubby really liked it. I gave it 2 stars and he gave it 4 (which is a high compliment from him because he's a harsh critic!) so I'm meeting in the middle on three. Granted, I left out the peppers (didn't have any) and cooked it uncovered, but that's because I wanted the sauce to be thicker, and it was still quite liquidy. I'm not sure where I might have gone wrong, I think it just wasn't to my taste. Next time I might try it with the bottled dressing and see if that kicks it up a bit.
