Notes
If you don’t have a round tube pan, no worries! This is just as fantastic and pretty in a casserole dish! Sometimes, I like to add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and eat it as a dessert instead of a side dish! Really, no matter how you serve it, you just can’t go wrong with this easy and delicious Red Hot Jello Salad!
