Recipe by katie in the UP

Here we go...another Rachel Ray recipe. I guess by now...I have to admit...I like her 30 minute recipes! This is a recipe I served for a party and it was a real hit!! I put it in a hollowed out sour dough bread bowl, served with bread cubes and bruschetta (toasted bread) Don't let the quantity of ingredients scare you...it's worth the trouble!
