Our family loved this recipe. It was just as good the next day too. I only made 1\/4 of the recipe since we are only a family of four. I may add peppers next time I make this.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"11\/13\/2010 13:23","GUID":"2afdaecb7ea042c082fe4a4c07fc4c47","MemberId":4906187,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"S.Clawson","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2010 13:23"},{"Comment":"

Unlike the unfavorable review given this recipe, I found it to be exactly what the author claims: a crowd-pleaser! Everyone asked for this recipe after making it for a brunch potluck. If you don't want it soggy, make sure it bakes for at least 65 minutes and actually follow the directions to ensure the knife does, indeed, come out clean to indicate its done.<\/p>

Excellent recipe! Sharing this with family and friends.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"08\/01\/2010 12:51","GUID":"b3bbd781e2e445d3bb190775132060a6","MemberId":3889802,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Schmiedt","SubmittedDate":"08\/01\/2010 12:51"},{"Comment":"
