Notes

This recipe is considered a "triple batch" but really it's the perfect amount! This recipe has been adjusted based on reader comments and reviews! So if a reader says DOUBLE or TRIPLE the recipe, DO NOT. The original recipe was in a 8 x 8 dish and this is much bigger (and more flavorful) in a 9 x 13 dish!
