The only thing really missing was cornbread! I made garlic rolls instead because I was watching and waiting for some nasty weather to come in.....that didn't! Oh well!!! I've never really thought about making this 'from scratch'.....it was always from a box. But this sounded so easy, I just had to try it. So glad I did! We both enjoyed this and agreed it just needed more garlic, but we love garlic!
