Submitted by PalatablePastime

"Goes great with steaks or herb baked chicken- also a very exquisite vegetarian entree. Always was a big hit around our house- we love cheese- hubby comes from Wisconsin, America's Dairyland, and he's really proud of it (he'll tell you with a grin and a piece of cheese in his mouth!)"

These are scrumptious! We have a meatless monday at our house and this fit the bill. I used chipotle chile powder (1/2 t) but will probably up it to 1 t next time. :D I also used sharp cheddar and light sour cream. Thanks for sharing the recipe! :D
