My mother had fixed this "One Skillet Dinner" for years. I dont have a written recipe, but I will try to post it in recipe form. My Mother has been gone for twenty years. This is especially good on a cold winter evening for dinner. Mom always served this with homemade yeast rolls, a salad, a homemade, Orange Chiffon Cake. I did lose the cake recipe and have not found one just like the one "Mom always made". Hopefully one day. Anyway this is an easy recipe, and fairly fast.Im sure you will absolutely love this. (I hope).
