This dish is the best! I recently discovered this while I was watching TV the other day. The first time I saw this it was like like love at first sight! So, I started making from scratch. Well, the first time I made this was not great at all. I forgot about it because I was busy doing other stuff. It was a disaster! So, the next day, I tried to cook it again. This time I was not going to let it become a huge fiasco. I waited for a couple of hours. I even set the time on my phone to remind me if it’s time to turn off the heat. (Haha!) then lo and behold, once I moved it out from the oven, I saw the same thing that I saw on the TV! it was awesome! It tasted the way I imagined it. I want to share it with you so you’d know how satisfied I am with this dish! Follow these steps that I made simple for you. Have fun!
