Notes:
- Please check out bottom of the post (under the directions) if you’d like to see photos of the entire cooking process.
- If you need to make a bigger batch, you can form the cups in the muffin tins, and dump onto the baking sheet to bake.
- Serving size will depend on if you’re using it as an appetizer or side dish. I make this for a side dish, and we each eat 6, so that would be 4 servings.
