But this recipe was delicious, full of flavor and very easy to make. There are also many options with this recipe from meat substitution to spices! You can keep the mild flavor per the recipe (my kind of flavor) or you can kick it up a notch or two with additional seasons (like my husband)!
This is the perfect family menu for your Sunday Dinner.
