The picture for this recipe has been floating around all over Pinterest and Facebook. Once I read the name of it, I was hooked and had to try this!! Of course, please don't compare my picture to the original picture :)...mine is awful looking

If you do not like Mayo, please try it. I absolutely dislike Mayo, but decided to try it anyways. I didn't add as much as it said to.

Thanks to Bacon, Butter, Cheese & Garlic for this wonderful recipe.
