Great flavor and texture. Now I have one more creative way to get healthy spinach into our diet. Made these as a friday night appetizer. I did however have my own Spicy Mustard Sauce. Thanks for sharing. {made and reviewed for NZ/AUS recipe swap #31, Aug. 2009}

    Wow, I thought this was really greasy and really salty. I guess there is a lot of possibility for variation with the stuffing mix and cheese you use but I won't be making this again.

    Love everything about these. All the flavors went so well together. I made the full batch and so glad I did. I used Savory Herb Stuffing Mix and I think that added a lot to the flavors. I over baked mine just a little because of last minute distractions, but they were still good. I had my own Hot Pepper Mustard that I served this with. I'll be making these again BK. Thanks.
