Great taste! Runny like queso, as my 10 year old commented. I'd make again, but prob cook everything in the fry pan longer. I'd prob use more ham and hashbrowns as well. I cooked mine a lot longer, but still runny. Tasted good! My husband added scrambled eggs into his to thicken it up.

Very good; lots of flavor; only change was to add celery to the onion-green pepper mix. Going to try the leftovers mixed with eggs in the morning. Yummy recipe, Parsley.

This wasn't bad but turned out a little more mushier than I would have liked. Was looking for that crispy brown outside and it just didn't happen for me. Cooked it even much longer than the recipe stated. I mean, it worked out but I guess it just wasn't what I was looking for that day. But Parsley I will always be trying your recipe's!
