I messed up when I put the star rating the first time, my family and I give this 4 1/2 stars! WE LOVED IT, even my little ones ate it( great way to get them to eat spinach)! And it was simple to make...next time though (since my husband isn't a big fan of mushrooms) I will probably cut back on the amount.
