    Too spicy for my taste, but otherwise really yummy. Even my anti-veggie husband thought they were pretty good. Next time I'm cutting down on the garlic and pepper. - 1/25/11

    So delicious! Instead of cooking the bacon i just tossed in some pre-crumbled bacon with the onion. Yum!!! My bf loved it and he doesn't do veggies! - 12/20/10
