    OH MY GOSH, this was SO good! I figured w/ such high ratings that it would be but I guess I was skeptical b/c it seemed too easy to make! It is fantastic. I followed directions but used spray butter instead of water before coating with breadcrumbs (I used Italian-style). I also used Classico brand pesto in a jar (my ghetto walmart did not carry the Knorr sauce packet and this was all I could find). I also used sliced fresh mushrooms and put the cheese on top. I kept covered with foil until last 10 minutes. So good! This recipe will definitely take varsity status in my recipe rotations!

    Scrumptious! What an easy yet delicious dish! My husband loved it as well. I dipped it in melted butter prior to the breadrumbs and served it with parmesan & garlic pasta. It was extremely moist. We'll make -and recommend- this dish often! Thanks!

    Very good. Now a family favorite. Just wish I'd quit losing my printout and having to print it yet again. I make as instructed, except cover loosley with foil for the first half to prevent cheese overbrowning. My husband will be so happy it's on the menu again tonight. He loves to take it to work leftover the next day. Thanks very much for a new family staple!
