I have been making this recipe ever since I can remembe, and every time I have a party. It's so simple to fix, doesn't take a lot of ingredients or time, and is always a favorite with my guests. It's also super simple to change it up for different crowds by varying the seasoning for a mild to extra spicy kick.
