Notes
Servings: This recipe serves about 6-8 people. You can also easily double the recipe and bake it in an 9x13 baking dish if you have a crowd.
Leftovers, once cooled, can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. They will lose their crunch but it still tastes delicious.
