This was AMAZING!! It is so hard to find a meal that my whole family will love, and this one fit the bill. It was so crey and flavorful, I just can’t say enough good about it!
Creamy, not crey, sorry! 🤣
Tried this tonight, yummy, rich. Started with sliced mushrooms, removed them, and proceeded as directed. At end I put a couple handfuls of fresh baby spinach and allowed it to wilt.
I’m going to try this, it looks too delicious!
