RECIPE BY: GotBoxer?

This recipe can be changed up as you go...a little more of this a little less of that, it always seems to be a winner. Don't let the directions intimidate you it's not hard and it's certainly worth the effort! This dish can also be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a day, just be sure to adjust the cooking time to 1-1/2 hrs at 325 degrees.
