Submitted by pitbullmommy

"Sounds fancy and taste great, but is super easy to make. Mostly tossed together from things I had in the pantry and fridge. I got the baseline recipe from a Betty Crocker email but changed it up a bunch. I eyeballed most of but tryed to guess the preparations so I could post it on RZ. I hope you enjoy, it can come out bland if you dont taste it s you make it."
