Absolutely favorite in our house! Great for meal prepping too because it heats up so well.
This recipe is an absolute winner! It can feed an army, yet it vanished in a single sitting. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also super easy to make, which is a huge plus.
I paired this dish with some garlic knots that I found in the clearance section of my local Walmart, and the combination was simply perfect. The garlic knots complemented the main dish beautifully.
What I appreciate most about this recipe is its simplicity. It’s a great option for when you need to prepare a large meal for a gathering or simply want leftovers for the week. The fact that it disappeared so quickly speaks volumes about how much everyone enjoyed it.
I wholeheartedly recommend this recipe for its taste, ease of preparation, and the ability to pair it with different sides to suit your preferences. Five stars all the way!
