I served this with some crescent rolls. Hubby actually turned off the Patriots game to come sit down and eat with us!! This recipe is such a hit with my family. We actually have to hoard our own leftovers. I was able to snag some the next day which was kind of amazing for me. =]
Try this recipe out, you won't be disappointed!!
