"This is actually my girl friends recipe; and, honestly ... I didn't think I would like it ... but, it's really good. Her family absolutely loves it. And, it literally takes just a couple of minutes to put together, which makes this a great weeknight dish. Also, she often adds cooked diced chicken or ham to make it a "One Pot Wonder." It is truly COMFORT FOOD."
