Oh girls!!! You are going to love this! I found this in a cookbook Chris' aunt gave me for Christmas. Stephanie was over that day, wrote the ingredients down and it sounded so good we BOTH had it for dinner that night. It's SO yummy and so easy too! It makes a lot so you can make it for company or you can make it and freeze it. I hope you'll make it soon, you won't regret it!
