I made this appetizer for my family on Thanksgiving, they all LOVED it! They were upset that I didn't have the ingredients to make more! I was surprised how many this made. It said it only needed 1 package of phyllo shells but i bought 2 (just incase and i'm glad I did because this filled 20 shells! The only thing I did different was add more bacon (4 strips all together and I used real minced garlic (just a tiny bit and added more cheese to the top about 2 min. before it was done in the oven. But this is soo good. My family and friends have demanded that I make it for every holiday and get together. Thanks Paula!!

Made this for a "girls night in" of my own. It was the hit of the party! Everyone left with a copy of the recipe. It does take a little time to put them all together... but the result is worth it. Highly recommend this recipe. I did skip the bacon for my vegetarian pals but it didn't make a bit of difference to my carnivore buddies!

Another goodun, Paula! So easy and flexible. I used fresh tomatoes b/c neighbors still have them growing. Key is draining REALLY well, no matter what kind of tomato you use. I used shallots instead of onion and sauteed them. ( her recipe calls for 2 tsp of onion but then doesn't include them in the directions. One could use fresh bacon and saute the onions in the same pan after cooking the bacon. I also used shredded Italian mix cheese instead of mozzarella. The change-ups for this recipe are endless. It's a great foundational recipe. To Pat: You go from freezer to filling to baking with the phyllo shells.

These were absolutely great the first time I made them, but my family is partial to spicy/hot foods, so I added one finely chopped jalapeno to the recipe. I could have added more for more heat, but to me this was just right. We'll be eating these for years to come - thanks Paula!!

After watching the show on Monday, they sounded so great that I made them Wednesday. I had all the ingredients except the mini phyllo shells, but I had a box of phyllo sheets in the freezer. I made the whole recipe, took 4 sheets of the dough, and put them in a muffin pan (for 6. It was obviously not a finger food this way, but boy, how good they turned out! I had two and my husband polished the other 4 off. I will definately buy the shells next time, and serve them with pride at my next cocktail party. Wow, Paula, you just keep coming up with more hits!

I made this for the first time on Easter Sunday. It was such a huge hit! I doubled the recipe, but next time I will make a ton more. I used Diced Tomatoes with Garlic in it.. About the salt reviews.. I hope you guys didn't think to put that entire cup of salt in just one recipe because that's intended for many recipes.!

A little less on the mayo and cheese please.

In response to Della: Why are you rating a recipe you haven?t tried yet. Sorry to hear about your financial troubles, but hello everyone is having a hard time these days, some harder than others, at least you have a job. Watch Dr. Phil and not Paula.

Lastly, one cup of salt in any recipe is way too much.

The first time I made these was for a Super Bowl party. They were gone within 10 minutes of walking in the door! Luckily, I had tried a few at home so I didn't miss out!
They can be a bit time consuming but worth every second it takes to make them.
