Go Big Red Recipe For August 15th

[Roxy]

I am really busy today...just have time to post one recipe. I made this last night for dinner and it was very good. I made it in the early part of the afternoon and baked it when it was time to get dinner ready. I love to make dishes that I can put together early and bake it later..saves time.
