Super easy recipe & tasty! I doubled the recipe for a party. After preparing it with just the ingredients listed, it seemed to need something more so I added 1 clove of freshly pressed garlic and a tsp of liquid smoke. Made it even more tasty and it was a big hit at the party!

This recipe is very easy and quick. I made a large patch of it for a potluck, and it was mostly gone by the end of it.
