My husband and son devoured this! I served it with hot rolls (jean's buttery bread machine rolls, #65340) and a stew. I did manage to sample it before it was gone and it did complement the meal nicely! I didn't roll it in wax paper, I just refrigerated it in the bowl for 2 hours and let it soften a little just before serving.
