“The hardest part about this meal is keeping the kids from devouring the sweet bell peppers and mushrooms before you get them all chopped. Otherwise, this was easy, delicious, flavorful, and beautiful. I replaced the usual toppings (aside from cheese) with Mel'” — a cook, 5.0★
“Okay, these were AMAZING and DELICIOUS!! I have a daughter that doesn’t love rotisserie chicken or cooked peppers. She dubbed this meal “the best thing I have ever eaten!” She asked if we could have it again for dinner tomorrow night!! When she found out there” — a cook, 5.0★
