Notes

Note the naked part of this means there is no bread component. So, you can try a few different things:
  • top with herbed stuffing mix
  • make a can of biscuits and serve on the side
  • make biscuit or crust from a 2-ingredient Dough
  • we will be trying Pound Dropper Cornbread as our next option
