The first time I made this, my then 10 year old daughter took one look at it and said "Yuk". Per our house rules, she had to take one bite, which then turned into two large helpings for her. Thus, it was then and forever named "Yuk". This is now a classic in our family and friends circle. It's incredibly easy to make and really tastes good with a pan of cornbread and a crisp salad. You can double or triple the recipe if you're feeding a bunch of soccer/ball players
