I made this for Passover but I would make it again. It was really tasty
and can be made hotter with some more hot sauce. I added only a couple
of dashes because hubby doesn't like the heat, especially in food he
doesn't think should be hot. It was delicious.

NOTES : * I broke the matzo into 3 strips each and put the pieces in a
shallow dish. I soaked them with warm tap water for a moment or so and
then I drained them. They were soft but they didn't break apart.
