Not only was this Delicious, but it brought back a childhood memory! My dad use to make something similar that I was unable to re-create! When I tasted this, it reminded me of my Dad ;) 5 stars for the memory alone... as well as the dish. Thanks Lainey!! This was simple to make and scrumptious. Served with flour tortillas for brunch.
