  • Reviews

  • “I thought this was outstanding.The pepper gives it a nice zing and the topping gives it a nice crisp top.I halved the recipe down to 6 servings and used the same cooking time.I also used a red pepper in place of green, as that was what I had on hand.”

  • “Have had this before, and is good.I found it needed longer than 1 hour to cook, however, and I used a convection oven.”
