This dandy sandwich mixture was no surprise for me. I made a half recipe as DH is in Vienna & I loved it! All the ingredients work here & yield a tasty texture combo of cream & crunch. I made it as written except I am a cook who loves the use of Heinz Chili Sauce for the tangy taste it gives, so I did add a bit extra. I will be making this again to share w/DH & might even add some crisp bacon pieces. Yum! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-)

I did prepare this exactly as written, and although I had no problem with the recipe, and wouldn't want to discourage someone else from trying this, I personally did not like it much. I was surprised, because I like all the ingredients, and the combination of most of them (I love vegetable cream cheese), and expected that I would enjoy it. In fact, it was fine, and smelled pretty great until the point I put in the chili sauce (I used heinz, which is a tomato based sauce, and the type I assumed was being asked for). As soon as I put in the chili sauce, the aroma seemed to turn pungeant and a bit sour, and the flavor ended up following suit. I even tried to let it sit for a few hours to see if letting the flavors mellow would help, and for me, it did not. If you do try it, you might want to remove a small bit and taste it with a bit of chili sauce before adding it to the whole mixture. I would have enjoyed it much more without the addition of the sauce.
