This rich, creamy dish is one of my favorite comfort foods and it has gotten rave reviews from even the pickiest eaters of the family. It's also very easy to make; when my husband learned to cook, this was the first dish he made.

Comfort food to the max! This recipe is delicious just as is, but I also sometimes like to add additional garlic. It would be great with chicken too! Test Kitchen Avatar The Test Kitchen
