"This is my mom's recipe and one of my childhood (and adulthood) favorites! It's salty and definitely not for those watching their sodium intake, but my family thinks it's fragrant and delicious. Makes a lot so it's great for parties. Cook time doesn't reflect overnight refrigeration and note that I'm not sure of the size of the garlic salt but don't be afraid to use 1/2 cup or so."
