  1. I also tweaked the recipe. My husband likes his meat so I added about 1/2 cup of ham. Used red and green peppers for color. Also grated 2 medium carrots. I didn't have any bisquick so I made it from scratch. I would definitely make this again. Oh, I also assembled it the night and refrigerated it. Pulled it out in the morning popped it in the oven and took a 45 minute walk while it baked.

  2. Loved it! I used lightly sauteed yellow onion, mushrooms, bell pepper and broccoli, used mix of swiss, parmesan and mozzarella cheese and added some thyme and a little cayenne. Delicious! Thanks for posting the easy, super flexible recipe!
     
  3. I've made this recipe a half dozen times now. You can add or subtract whatever ingredients you like. I like this recipe for the proportions of the bisquick/egg/milk mixture. It forms a very nice crust. My favorite is spinach, ham or bacon, and swiss cheese. I prefer to bake it at 375 for a little longer so I don't risk scorching it. Good eats.
     
  4. Made this tonight, had never heard of bisquick here in Australia... so looked up how to substitute it, 1 cup of plain flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon (pinch) salt, 1 tablespoons (15g) shortening, oil, or melted butter... I used olive oil.<br/>Sift dry ingredients together ( flour, baking powder, and salt). Use a whisk or a large spoon.<br/>Cut in the shortening or oil into dry ingredients. If using melted butter, make sure to evenly disperse the butter as much as possible. Mix well and store. Use the same amount as you would Bisquick. This will keep up to four months if stored in a tight container in a dry place.<br/>Turned out yummy I had added extra vegetables and partly cooked them all... everyone loved it thank you heaps for sharing ?
     
  5. Well, when I used to eat meat, I made this all the time. So, I decided to search out the recipe once more and put our vegetarian twist on it! I used fresh spinach in place of the broccoli and red pepper, and vidalia onion. Fantastic! I also sustitited mozzerella cheese, whicj I might not recommens in the future. While it was good, it was a bit difficult to cut. To keep calories down, I used egg substitute and soy milk with great results. I chose to bake it is a 2 qt. cassarole, which was great, because I could easily refridgerate the leftovers. Thanks Petunia!

  2. I am the sole vegetarian in a family of die hard meat eaters. I decided that my family needed to eat more meatless dishes, this recipe was first one the list. I was a bit nervous about their reaction. My 17 year old looked at it like it was roadkill and asked "Is this vegetarian?". He cleaned his plate and went back for seconds. My husband has something negative to say about every healthy vegetarian dish I make ("This would be good if it had meat in it"). He also went back for seconds and insisted I put it into our family "Favorite Recipes" book. Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you!!! I changed a few things. I added garlic instead of onions and sauteed mushrooms instead of the green pepper. Unbelievable!!
     
  3. This was truly delicious and very easy to put together. I did it on sunday and popped it in the fridge ready to cook for monday's dinner. i used the recipezar substitution for bisquick and also added 6 crushed cloves of garlic to the batter. I also used mozerella instead of cheddar (is lower fat!) and as it's low fat sprinkled some on top too (meaning it wasn't actually lower fat as I just used more!) Anyway, was very nice. I used a red pepper instead of the green, and a courgette and some mushrooms as well as the onion and brocolli. This is a great recipe - thanks!
     
  4. I remember my mother making this when I was a kid...I used the heart smart bisquick and asparagus instead of broccoli. I also added 1 clove minced garlic (as recommended in the reviews), fresh parsley, and 1/8 tsp of chili powder for some spice! It was so delicious and filling. A great way to use up leftovers!
