    Delicious!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Served this at a girl's night dinner and it was a big hit. I used thin rosemary crackers instead of Ritz the second time I... made it and preferred the lighter cracker crumbs. I am taking a break from cleaning beet greens now but will be making this again...and again...and again....yum!Read more

    Yum!

    I had tons of beet greens left over from making borscht. I made this dish and served it, along with the borscht, to my... Russian friend and she loved it! The two dishes went well together. I used a 9x9 pan - didn't seem to be enough for a larger pan. I also used more crumbs than called for, and added more parmesan on top. Very easy and tasty.Read more

    Terrific!

    I love greens in any way, shape, or form, but my husband is fairly ambiguous about them. This recipe was so good it had him... asking for seconds! Thank you for an innovative alternative to steamed and sauteed. We'll definitely be enjoying this again.Read more

    very rich and heavy dish

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    This needs 2 (at least) bunches of chard. I used 1 and the greens from 6 beets and it was too heavy and needed more... greens. I guess this is healthier than recipes for greens requiring bacon fat but I?m on the fence if I will make it again.Read more
