Loved it, as did my family. Very easy to make. Only change I made was we used provolone cheese because it was what we had in. Delicious, and it is now a regular favorite of ours. Thanks!

This was OK, but not one of our favorites. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Thanks for sharing. -
We loved this! Easy to do and such great flavors. My guys were very impressed with this - we can see why your husband asks for it when he has the chance! Thanks for sharing.
