Okay. I admit it. I'm all about easy. There are days when I want to just go all out and spend the day creating a huge meal. And there are times when I just want to hurry up and be done with it. Except I don't want anyone to know. This recipe comes from the Keebler Ready Crust people. It's easy but don't tell anybody.
