My family doesn't rate to many recipes as excellent. Usually their highest rating is a Very Good, but this recipe achieved an excellent from everyone. I serve it regularly during the winter months.

My husband and I decided this is a keeper! I'm sure whole milk or even 1/2+1/2 would be good but for us 2% was fine. The addition of Old Bay Seasoning kicked it up a notch but it's fine without it.
