"My DD made these with a friend who had the recipe, and really loved them. They used a jarred vegan sauce, but this one looks pretty simple. If you aren't a strict vegan you could add some cheese on top."

This turned out really good when it was hot from the oven. I added just a little ketchup to concentrate the flavors. Funny, when I heated it up the next day, I didn't care for it as much. Thanks momaphet! Made for Zaar tag.
