Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat.

Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly and has slightly thickened.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
