Have to say I agree with the previous review of there being too much butter. I could have written that review as I also used onion flakes. The taste was there and I will definitely make this again but with half the amount of butter. Oh and I may try it on the Garlic Bread from Costco with the whole cloves of garlic baked in.

    Waaaay too buttery. I'm kind of grossed out, actually. And I love butter. I think you could cut it in half and be fine. I was really pressed for time, so I used onion flakes. I think that was a decent shortcut.

    I made this tonight for our good friends and neighbours who came to dinner. This was so simple to assemble earlier on, refrigerate as suggested, then pop in the oven when we were about to eat. I may have overcooked it slightly as we chatted and drank our wine, but we fought over every last piece anyway!

    Last night we had a wine & snack "dinner" with this as one of our snacks. So delish! We are having the rest with our roast today. Followed recipe except I added some garlic powder to the mixture. Will fix this a lot!!
