"These little beauties may be served as an appetizer, side dish or main meat dish. I like that you can get them all ready in the AM, refrigerate them and finish cooking them at supper time. The original recipe is from the Food Network Magazine with several changes by me. I use my mini chopper to prepare the ingredients. It only takes minutes."
