Jimmy's Favorite Garlic Bread

Fantastic garlic butter recipe. Even if you don't like sun-dried tomatoes, the butter is fantastic!! Yes, this recipe makes a TON. However, it is completely worth the entire recipe. You can keep it and put it on any bread for any dish that needs that extra side of bread. =)
