I know I'm the only one that reviewed this yet, but I have to say I made it again, with the chive and onion cream cheese this time, still using brocolli, but using kilbasa (sp?) sausage and it cam out great again. Super easy to use whatever you have in the kitchen... I even had requests for the recipe this time.

The first time I made this I followed the recipe and it came out great. The second time I didn't quite have all the ingredients as listed, so I used Brocoli and plain cream cheese and used my own seasoning. Still came out great.
