The first time I made this - I didn't have enough paprika on hand, and substituted some combo of cumin and chili pepper. Geez! Wish I'd written that down. In spite of having just eaten when they were finally ready, my husband and his friend DEVOURED them - and my husband swears that they're the best he's ever had. (and he doesn't drink, so it wasn't the "liquor talkin' "!) Served with Kentucky Bourbon Baked Beans, Potato Salad, Sweet Cole Slaw, and Corn on the Cob.
