Well, Steve, I give it a 9

When I was in high school, my Mom made up a rating system to decide what stayed on the menu and what was to be banished to the back of the recipe box. A 1 meant, please don't ever make this for me again, even if that's all we have to eat... And a 10 meant I can eat this every day for the rest of my life and die happy. This particular recipe got a 9.

Another tasty tidbit for you all- On one of our very first dinner dates, I made these for Jon. I think secretly it's why he decided to keep me around ;)

1/3 cup crushed corn flakes

  1. These have always been at LEAST a 9, if not something closer to a 10. These are delicious, and they are not hard to make. These are a weeknight entree because they are not too time consuming.
