Alabama Visit Welcome Basket

This recipe comes from Stephen’s mom and it is one of our favorites. He would rave about it so one day, when we were dating, I asked him to get me the recipe so I could make it for him. It is so full of flavor, filling and the best part is it so easy!!! It’s a dump and bake kind of recipe, which is my favorite kind on days like today.
