My good friend Kellie Holmstrom, shared a recipe that she found on Pinterest. Her whole family loved it, so I decided to give it a try. But of course I always end up tweaking recipes a bit, because I love to be creative in the kitchen. Hope you enjoy my variation used with my homemade Italian sausage!
