"Another family favorite vegetable side-dish that is simple and quick to make. Great for family dinners, Thanksgiving, or any occasion. You can substitute lime zest for the lemon zest, if desired."

Quick and easy. The lemon zest gave it a nice pop of flavor.

Easy to make & pretty tasty. After reading the reviews, I decided to use one stick of butter instead of two and it was plenty.

A bit too much butter for our taste; but, I will certainly serve it again, just with less butter. Other than that, we loved it!!

We made this for Christmas, and it was fantastic! As one reviewer mentioned, it was indeed swimming in butter. Next time, I'll try just one stick, instead of two.

Great flavor. As others have indicated, kind of an absurd amount of butter. We also added more garlic and baked the bacon. Yum! Great Thanksgiving side dish!
