Here’s another Meatless Monday option- but it is so not healthy!
But we’re gearing up for winter right so who’s counting calories? This is good meal for when you’re craving comfort food on a cold night. This dish is easy to make during the week, there’s barely any prep work! This also makes a lot so it’s a good dish if you are a fan of leftovers or have a large family to cook for!
I found this recipe on Pinterest from Yellow Bliss Road. All of her recipes are family style & she has tons of weeknight options. Her specialty is comfort food- everything looks so delicious!
Below is my version of this recipe with a few tweaks!
