This recipe has been in my cookbook forever. It is an excellent way of making a simple garlic bread to accompany a meal. We served it with ribeyes with a Marsala mushroom sauce and brussels sprouts, but it will find its way into other meals and appetizers as well.

OMG I make this all the time, B! This is so easy and tasty, and goes with just about everything! Sometimes I add chopped tomatoes and basil too, which is good too. Thanks for posting it!
