Notes
- This copycat recipe was created and developed by Megan K. Devolve. She suggests you serve this with spaghetti sauce, but she states it is sinful with Alfredo sauce. What we really like about this recipe is that it isn’t difficult to make, and it tastes very good. This has been one of our highest rated recipes.
