Author Notes
This recipe was created to take along for our first tailgate of the season. It was an early game, kickoff at noon, so I needed something I could make the night before, heat up for 30 minutes before heading down town and easily eat on a picnic blanket. This was the perfect pre-game brunch. —Sweet Life Kitchen
