I love this dish but I never knew how to make it because the person wanted to keep it to their self. Now I have it and make it on my own thank you for the recipe. I will be cooking this for my super bowl party in miami 2010

I took this dish to my brother's for Thanksgiving and believe me, there were no leftovers. Dinner is at my sister's for Christmas and the only thing I am required to bring is this dish. Kudos! MsV
