  • “Outstanding! Also delicious! I doubled the recipe (actually used 2 pounds of ground beef), made 9 little loaves (froze 4 of ’em for later). Didn’t have prosciutto or ham, so didn’t get the “full effect” but we loved ’em anyway!I’m under strict orders to add this to the REGULAR family repertoire.So, THANKS Derf…this is a KEEPER!”
