This one is my go-to recipe when we have friends over or simply want a cozy night in front of the television. It is quick to prepare, easy to share and to serve, and allows about a million possible variations, so you can make it plenty of times without ending up twice with the same! You can also prepare a few different ones at a time when you have a lot of people coming over. I’m not sure how to…

You can also pre-bake them and quickly reheat them in the oven right before serving. They are made with ingredients you always have at home (if you don’t have these, let me just say…
