This was almost tasteless. If I made it again I would use chopped Italian stewed tomatoes to add some zing. -
This was yummy. I actually added about 3/4 cup of cream and that made it super good.

Very yummy dish. I made as posted and it filled up the two of us just fine with no left overs. Made for "Top Favorites of 2009" tag game. Thanks for posting. :) -
