I used to work in Dallas, TX in the 70s. My co-worker would bring this dish to our potlucks. At the time, none of us had tasted anything like it, but after looking on this site, I can see variations of it are pretty popular. So thanks, Anita for sharing this with me, so I've been able to make it 40 or 50 times since then. My family and friends always want me to bring this to Thanksgiving and Xmas dinners...so I do!
