    I think the name and the photo speak for themselves.

    These babies are lip smacking delicious and you’ve got to get them added to your meal plan. Like STAT.

    The ham, the cheese, the bell peppers and touch of onion…all wrapped in a cornbread base. Southern comfort right here my friend. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
