So, this is AWESOME! We made this a couple of times. Instead of salami we used the Quorn Chicken we love so much(http://www.quorn.us/Home/)
Bryan was the one that made it and he said when it was hot and mixed he wasn't sure how it was going to turn out becaue the smell was just flat out BAD.
However, after it's time in the fridge it turns out GREAT! It's a great side, party dish, or even a meal!
We highly reccomend this one just as is!
We also learned that all provolone is smoked provolne when we were at the store :p
Definatley make sure to go to the deli cheese and get the chunks because slices just don't do for this.
