I only made it for the two of us but it was scrumptious after a very long, hot day of running errands, shopping, chasing little kids and providing a speedy supper. Sent a copy of the recipe home for their mom and dad to make, along with the fixings. Didn't have time to make these before they left. Not only do we really like them, but DD and her loved ones enjoyed them too. This recipe is a keeper - Big Time!
