  • “Very delicious recipe!However, it was really crying out for some basic seasonings to give it a little punch.As the dish was cooking, I sprinkled in some greek seasoning, salt, and pepper. And at the end, I crumbled in 4 pieces of bacon I fried earlier.Will keep in the regular rotation!Thanks!”

  • “Great side dish. Directions for my non stick cookware advises not to use non stick spray on them and the recipe is fine without that step.”

  • “Very good side dish…really enjoyed it, plus was quick to put together…a keeper…thanks for sharing.”

  • “Very tasty.Used butter for the margarine. I also added abit of chopped jalapeno with the green/red peppers. Enjoyed the recipe, thanks for sharing.”

  • “What a colorful addition to dinner!I had all the ingredients in my freezer so it was a breeze to cook up.I added salt and pepper to taste but other than that followed the recipe.Thanks for a beautiful, healthy side dish.”

  • “This was great stuff ! I had originally planned it as part of a Veggie Variety Plate but ended up too pressed for time so I made only this and served it over rice with Margaritas. I thought the green chilies kicked it up just enough. DH added a touch of hot sauce. The only changes I made were to double it and leave out the extra margarine. I just gave my pan a good coating of Olive Oil cooking spray. It is going in our Faves book. Thanks for sharing !”

  • “Very colorful and would be perfect for a potluck or buffet.I do think it needs a bit of salt & pepper. I did appreciate that the dish wasn’t swimming in butter or water.Draining it all made a huge difference. Thank you for sharing your recipe! “
