    Very Good
    This recipe was excellent. I added chopped onion & used canned, drained chopped tomatoes; I added italian seasoning to the egg/cottage cheese mixture. I baked it @ 375 for 60 minutes. It's very tasty! - 9/3/12

    Incredible!
    I switched chili powder for cayenne pepper and cajun spice, added onion and zuchinni, italian seasoning spices and the mozarella. We had half for dinner w/ bread and will eat the other half with plain spaguethi today... YUMMI - 2/6/09
