This recipe is so easy and so delicious. Got a thumbs up from all 3 of my sons . This is a mild dish, but you can add hot curry powder, hot sauce or cayenne to spice things up. My sons like red pepper flakes on top too. You can make this vegan by skipping the butter or using vegan butter . I like a little extra butter over the top of mine .. doesn’t butter make everything better ;)
