Not sure when it originally aired. I do remember making it perhaps 3-4
years ago. But I think I only ever saw her show in re-runs. Just saw it,
looked up the recipe and made it the next day. It's certainly not a
favorite of mine but it's nice for a change. I went with Italian type
seasonings but I think I would prefer Mexican. So the next time I make it,
I might use Rotel and chili powder. It is quick to fix and cheap!
