Notes

This is super easy and such a hit in any setting.

Its a great dish to keep in a container in your fridge. I would like to add that the Bacon Ritz have completely won me over. It adds the extra kick of flavor, not that it even needs it.

Add some Jalapeño if you are a spicy mommy hot tamale!
