I love Ruth's Chris version and this one is just as good. It is more a dessert than a side dish, but its so good. If you have it for a dessert, add vanilla ice cream and its even a bigger hit!

- Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to set at least 30 minutes before serving.
I always make this with golden raisins added into the mix and then topped with jumbo marshmallows sliced in half on top. It's ALWAYS a hit. And yes -- is definitely more of a dessert than anything else, especially with the marshmallows! Sure to induce a sugar high! LOL
