YEA!!! I FINALLY FOUND IT!
I have been looking and looking for this recipe. I knew it was in a book I had checked out from the Library. But could not rember which one. I have been re-checking out all the cookbooks I have previously checke out over the last year and a half. I finally found it. Thought I'd share it. It is from a freezer cookbook - so adjust directions as necessary. It may not be as good as my quest has me rembering, but at least this way I can find it again! But I think it was good. I cooked them in the crock pot and finished on the grill.
