 Renee (Illinois) says:
I love this recipe. Only made it once (tonight the first time - WITH a few additions, I admit) and it was a jump start hit for some selective eaters. I followed the recipe but then added some okra (the steam in the bag kind), a bay leaf, paprika, some fresh chopped tomatoes, garlic and red bell pepper (chopped). My Folks (Dad especially) LOVED it! Thank you. Easy and I DEFINITELY plan to make this again and frequently!
