Coach's Post Game Conference:
I used Ragu pizza sauce for this. I've actually made it twice. It makes a nice snack or light lunch. I made it once and took it with us to the drive in for the team to munch on while we watched a movie.

Final Score
We deinitely liked this recipe - ESPECIALLY The All-Star who ate probably 1/2-3/4 of the entire thing the first time I made it!!
