From Minnie: Kelli’s Spaghetti Pie sounded yummy, buy a bit too high in calories for myself and the hubby, so I tried scaling it down and must say, “it turned out great!”
This recipe calls for Seasoning Blend Muffins.

I tried this recipe tonight. It turned out pretty watery. Any suggestions about what I did wrong?
Also, the onions and pepper from my seasoning muffins didn’t get cooked well so they were very crunchy.

I would like to try this recipe but I don’t believe I know what seasoning blend muffins are.
