I make these only I make the stuffed version with the seasoned ground beef. They are a pain to make but I love them. I will take it easy on myself and try your version! Thanks!

I originally ate the stuffed version about 30 yrs ago. God, I loved them. The best ever. I guess you'd call mine the fast food version. They give you a quick fix when you need it. I frequently take these to parties with a bowl of marinara.
