ALL-AMERICAN HOT DISH
I adopted this recipe in the February 2005 recipe adoption. This makes an easy and quick weeknight meal that is good and filling. DH really loves stuff like this. Personally, next time I make this, I will probably add some chili powder or garlic or both to spice it up a little. I have tried the skillet version only; I have not tried the oven method.
