Delicious: my dinner guests tonight loved these! I scaled back the recipe to serve five, which four of us devoured without difficulty! And I really appreciated being able to prepare these largely in advance. Being in basically unfamiliar territory, I made these pretty much to the recipe - except for using wine instead of water in step four. Thanks for sharing this truly delicious recipe, KaraRN. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders. I'll certainly be making these again! -
I also didn't have any pimientos but this dish didn't suffer for it. Very good and my boys loved them (even though they couldn't figure out what was in the middle!) -
This is very good. I followed recipe exactly except I didn't have any pimientos. I will make this again. Made for Photo Tag 2007.

<br>I am a Registered Nurse currently working as a Director of Nursing in a nursing home for a large corporation. Since taking on my new position, I haven't had much time to cook, let alone play around on Zaar.
<br>
<br>Besides being addicted to Zaar,I am also a www.pogo.com addict! If you play on pogo, my screen name is tobearn_ look me up sometime.
<br>
<br>I am always looking to try new recipes out and so glad I found this site! I don't think I have signed out of it since I joined! :-) LOL
<br>
<br>I try to prepare hot meals for my picky family that is fast, and yummy. Although I do enjoy making some complex recipes at times.
<br>
<br>I hope you all enjoy the recipes that I have posted and the ones that I will post in the near future. (You have to try the Chocolate Enchiladas I have posted---- YUMMY).
