Trisha Yearwood has produced several cookbooks, her first was titled “Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood”. This recipe was included. I’ve made it several times, most recently last Saturday night as an appetizer for friends we had over for a Low Country Boil (also Trisha’s recipe).
It’s delicious, quick, and did I say quick and delicious? Yes, indeed. My only recommendation is to make it when you know the entire pan will be consumed. It does not reheat very well due to the oils in the cheese and/or mayonnaise. Its doubtful you will have any left over anyway so no worries!
