This recipe is my family’s favorite. I make it for every celebration because it’s easy, delicious and meant to be shared. You can make it as mild or as spicy as you like just by adding more Tabasco sauce.
Basically it’s like a party in a pan. Make sure you have fresh crusty bread for dipping into the sauce.
