Tagged this recipe while wondering about the dried beef ingredient & then two days before I made it, we had a small dinner party & one of the guests brought us a small bag of beef jerky that he'd made, & that was a wonderful addition to this great recipe of yours! As with weekend cooker, we loved the combo of cheeses & found the presentation so nice that now I want to make these again soon for one of the monthly groups I host! Thanks for this great recipe keeper! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

These were good ... I did substitute a green pepper for the yellow pepper. Loved the combo of cheeses here, as the 4 of us enjoyed these for a light dinner yesterday. Thanks for posting., as I have myself another keeper from Teresa. Made for PRMR tag.
