When I saw this recipe on Betty Crocker I couldn’t wait to try it. I slightly adapted it to use up some things I had in the pantry, but for the most part I kept it the same. Trying to get all my use out of my oven before the weather turns and it is too hot to turn on. Always a sad day in this house, I find I like to use my oven more than the stove top. I’ll have to look into using the crock pot more this year too, but for now I will keep on using the oven to my little hearts content.
