My husband's mother used to make this so he was so excited to have found this one. We made it the other night and were totally thrilled with it. This is full of good stuff. I served this over a bed of lettuce. The dressing is spicy and I would highly recommend this to anyone.

I remember my Aunt Frannie making something very similar to this. Tastes great just like her's did. I made this the other night and we are still eating on it. It does make quite a lot. Very yummy and got the thumbs up from my family.

I have made this recipe many times and always to rave reviews. Last year when our internet cooking club met I served this and thats all they talked about! It makes such a large amount we ate on it (along with other goodies)all weekend.
