TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 35 min.
YIELD: 8 servings.
My interests are reading, gardening...and growing most of the ingredients I use in this dinner!
There's something for every taste in this recipe. It would be great as a meal-in-one dish for a picnic or a reunion.
My husband is a farmer, growing mostly grain. We have a daughter and a son, 14 and 13. All three of them became "fans" of this meal from the start!
