This is a great recipe to make for your family. It’s quick and easy, plus it tastes very good! I altered the recipe a bit. The original calls for one teaspoon of seasoned salt. We thought that was too bland. It tastes much better with a tablespoon of seasoned salt. Also, I need to bake it for 45 minutes in my oven. When I bake it for thirty minutes, it comes out too soupy.
Since I’m still working on this novel, trying to get it out the door, I needed a quick and easy recipe to serve to my family tonight!
Enjoy!
