Very good – hubby enjoyed too (always a plus!). Served with black beans and a salad.

Easy to put together. Next time, I am going to use pepper-jack cheese. I think you could also make ahead and freeze for an easier week night dinner. Thaw, roll in butter and bread crumbs.

Thanks for a great new recipe that makes the monthly meal rotation!
