I had taken the entire family to this potluck fundraiser, so my husband was sure to take a big helping of this knowing that I made it. He’s a little weird when it comes to potlucks. You never know who made it and what you’re going to get is what he says so he really treads lightly. He scarfed down the whole helping that he took and then a few days later when I routinely asked him what he wanted for supper, he asked me to make this again. Even the kids liked it when it was fresh from home. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:
