Our church has decided that on Sunday evenings we are going to try and do a potluck meal at least once a month to help offset the cost of going out to eat. We like to get together and fellowship after church at the local Cracker Barrel, but it can get expensive — especially for a family of 4.
This past Sunday night we had one of those potluck meals, and we deemed it with an Italian theme. We decided to make these yummy Cheesy Tomato and Bacon Bites. Now — I have to tell you how wonderful my hubby is, because while I was taking a much needed afternoon nap, he got online and found a great recipe on the Betty Crocker website. We, of course, changed it up a bit and made it our own, but it still ROCKED!
