    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!

    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.
