Here’s a side dish that is easy to put together, although it does bake for an hour so takes a little planning.  It makes a lot so either make it when you have a crowd to feed or divide it out into smaller dishes and freeze some for later.  This is another one of the “beach” recipes. Hmm, it’s starting to sound like all we did was eat! Really, we went to the beach, the pool and shopping too!  LOL
