This was really the only recipe that we made that we were disappointed in this Thanksgiving. The picture on the recipe looked so good, it was such a great idea. Also, these were fried on the stove without using up the oven space, which was a huge plus. However, the flavor really lacked in these. They just didn't have the delicious sauce covering that we would have expected them to.

What we liked:
It was pretty - we loved that it was not cooked in the oven as the oven was needed for other items. It was quick to throw together right before calling everyone to dinner - important, as these cool down very fast!
What we didn't like:
It just didn't have much flavor
What Kaspian thought about it:
He was not a fan
