Come on reviewers, this recipe is made for a potluck recipe, its going to give you a large quantity for a large crowd. Halve or make a third of the recipe. Don't miss out on a good recipe because of the quantity. Try it you'll like it!

The directions for this recipe are very confusing. Exactly why the "three bowls"?Why give a recipe that is obviously made for a caterer and not a home cook.
