This is very good. Since it's just the two of us I only made 1/2. I didn't use onions.

This sounds great for company. Buttered noodles on the side with a medley of veggies. Comfort food!

I came across this recipe on here myself. Haven't made it yet.
Now that I know it's good, I think I will!! Thanks.

Hi maggie this is really tasty. I served with steamed broccoli & cauliflower. I think KarenB's suggestion of buttered noodles along with the veggies sounds like a super idea. I hope you like it as much as we do.
