My husband has made this for over 10 years… and I swear it never gets old.
This is one of those recipes that doesn’t come from a cookbook — it comes from routine, love, and a lot of hungry evenings. The kind of dish that shows up on the table again and again because it just works. No complaints. No leftovers. No questions.
He first made it more than a decade ago on a random night when we needed something comforting, filling, and easy. Back then, it was simple. Over the years, it’s been tweaked, adjusted, perfected — not written down, just remembered. A little more of this, a little less of that. Always made the same way, somehow.
Now? It’s the meal everyone asks for.
Family gatherings ✔️
Busy weeknights ✔️
“When we don’t know what to cook” nights ✔️
The smell alone lets you know it’s going to be good. The kind of aroma that pulls people into the kitchen asking, “Is it ready yet?” The kind that makes you slow down, grab a plate, and actually enjoy the moment.
What I love most is that it’s simple. No fancy ingredients. No complicated steps. Just real food made the same way for years — because when something is this good, you don’t mess with it.
Every time he makes it, I’m reminded why some recipes stick around for a lifetime. They’re not trendy. They’re not viral. They’re just reliable, comforting, and made with love.
If you believe the best recipes are the ones that stand the test of time, you’ll understand why this one has survived 10+ years in our kitchen — and why it’ll probably be here for the next 10 too.
