I needed a special Easter 2009 dessert. We had special guests coming this year and I wanted to impress. They were an older Italian couple, who I'm sure has had real good Italian Rice pie over the years. Well, needless to say, they were taken back as to the great flavors that were produced. I think it was the pineapple that won them over, plus the creaminess was superb. Thanks for this recipe, it's a keeper for life.

Loved this, but I was a little lazy. When I was in the store getting the chicken, I bought croutons, put them in a Ziploc bag and banged them just a bit with a rolling pin just to reduce the size, also picked up some bacon bits. (I guess I was real lazy) Sprinkled the croutons and bacon bits into the delicious salad and everyone loved them. You can call me lazy on this one, but........oh heck, I'm just lazy.

I loved this recipe, but whenever I make SPO's I use XXX spicy rated Italian sausage from my butcher shop, other than that I really like the spice mixture in this recipe.
