I omitted the mushrooms and sour cream, and used Cucumber Ranch dressing (hubby likes that with lamb). Very easy to make, very yummy!

This was very easy to prepare and the taste was incredible. This recipe is being added to my monthly menu. All that was missing was some baklava for dessert!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
