A girlfriend of mine turned me on to this and I have made it a many times (baby showers, for the day after Thanksgiving, etc. ) It is always a hit. It's perfect for Christmas morning when you don't want to cook. You make it the day before and then just heat up in the morning. It is super rich but very yummy. I got the exact recipe off of www.About.com

That looks ABSOLUTELY delish! Cannot wait to try it! Thanks!
Damn girl! This looks fab. I'm going to make it for Christmas morning. I've been cooking a lot more ever since your delish brussel sprouts in Newport. You inspired me!
