They were very good! Mama was the 1st Runner-Up with her recipe, and my sister Lacey (who entered a chicken casserole dish that I don’t have the recipe for/pictures of) and I didn’t place. It was miserably hot this year, but tradition is tradition!
Hope you give these recipes a try!
Have a Great Day Friends!!!
