Wow, people were not joking about the smoke. I needed a dust mask just to breathe while blackening!!! It was ridiculous. Used catfish nuggets, doubled the recipe except only used 1 tsp. of cayenne - it still had plenty of kick! Did not have lemon pepper so substituted equal parts pre-mixed Cajun spice. That might have had something to do with the super kick;next time I would use even less of the cayenne (like less than 1/2 tsp. for a double batch.) Doubling the spice mix, I did not have enough to coat 2 lbs. of nuggets. My nuggets were also slightly frozen still, so needed longer than 35 minutes for baking time. Flavor was good & they came out moist!

Excellent comfort soup. Used chicken breast, added 1/8 tsp. cayenne. Forgot to only put half the veggies in to start with, so just blended up half of the whole cooked batch after 45 minutes. Did not add pasta or rice. Added a little milk to the bowls just before serving and it was quite good; the next day the soup had even better flavor, & I served it without milk. This is a definite keeper, thanks for sharing!

I followed some advice of others: used sour cream instead of mayo, added 1/8tsp cayenne, and mixed all the cheese together. I did use the basil plus 2 minced garlic cloves, and used about 1 cup fresh spinach chopped, a bar of the reduced fat cream cheese, and buttered the 8x8 glass baking dish before putting dip into it. I let the cream cheese come to room temp before mixing and it mixed just fine. Used 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese instead of 1/4 cup parm. + 1/4 cup mozz. Lastly, I sprinkled a pinch or two of the Italian cheese on top before putting it in the oven. Pretty tasty! Definitely party worthy.
