Too Bland For Me
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought the taste was a big nothing. I followed the recipe to the letter. However, I added 1/4 diced raw onion, extra... garlic powder and extra white pepper. And, believe it or not, to that I also added 1/2 envelope of dry onion soup mix. NOW, it had some taste to it. But I liked the general base of the recipe, so from now on I will add the extras to make it my own.Read more
