My hubby’s favorite is serving this over Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Shells but when I can’t find them I use the sheets and cut them.
This is comfort food, perfect to serve year-round. I always make extra and double up this recipe because it freezes well. so it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking you can just pull a container out of the freezer and you have dinner.
