"I found this from the Kraft Canada website and I tweaked it a bit to suit my tastes. I found the original recipe bland (which some of my family members would love!). The original recipe didn't call for salt and pepper but it really does need some. You may need to season it more when serving."

I am learning to cook through Recipezaar! I am not a natural in the kitchen so I really appreciate all the recipes and reviews that people post here! I also won't post any reviews that have less then three stars. I figure if someone liked the recipe enough to post it then it might be just my tastes. My favourite cookbooks are "The Vegetarian 5 Ingredient Gourmet", and "Company's Coming Diabetic Cooking". They both have lots of great recipes even though I am not a vegetarian or diabetic. <img src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/?action=view&current=HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
