Sometimes you just want a good homemade supper that fills your tummy and tastes good. We can’t do box mixes here at our home because of food allergies but really…….we love homemade anyway. So this is a simple recipe to throw together in a hurry and the ingredients are simple enough to have on hand regularly.
You could have the onions and peppers chopped ahead of time and waiting in the fridge if you are working or planning to make this after ball practice or dance rehearsal. This is a one-pot meal so clean up will be a breeze.
