Comments

Goes great with cornbread, hushpuppies, tortillas, chips, or garnished w, green onions, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

I picked this up in Tucson while keeping house for aBUNCH of cable tv installers; hence the wide servings range...up to 10 normal appetites, or 6 pole-climbers (or teenagers for that matter).
