Very delish. I have nothing more to say about it, it was great and would definitely make it again.

Very easy and delicious recipe. I too did not have tomato sauce, used BBQ sauce instead. Would make it again with the BBQ sauce!!!

Made these for two parties - everyone raved. I didn't have tomato paste but I had pizza sauce which I think gave it a little more zing. Great recipe!

This recipe is supposed to have 1/2 teaspoon of salt -I don't know why it was omitted. Plus , I have never used Crisco olive oil. Your shameless product advertisements are disappointing.
