“I’ve been making this at least once a week, and I’m not even a little bit sorry about it.”
I honestly didn’t expect this recipe to become such a staple in my kitchen, but here we are. What started as a quick “what do I have in the fridge?” meal has turned into something my family asks for constantly. If I skip a week, someone notices. If I make it twice in one week, no one complains.
That’s how you know a recipe is a keeper.
This dish is comforting, full of flavor, and ridiculously easy to make. It’s the kind of meal that feels like it took hours, even though it didn’t. The aroma alone fills the house and pulls everyone into the kitchen asking, “Is it ready yet?”
