 I loved this!! Very easy to put together and delicious. The cream cheese makes it so amazing. If you make this please let me know how you like it!! Oh, original recipe says to bake this for 35-40 minutes and I think that's a little long. I put it in for 35 minutes and the cheese got browned and a little hard. I'd say 30-35 minutes is plenty.
