I found this delicious and easy to make. I had green pepper, red pepper, onion and crimini mushrooms; they all worked great on my indoor grill. I tossed with olive oil salt and pepper before grilling. No case so Cresco so I just use better cheese. This will be a new staple for all the garden fresh vegetables I get all summer long!
