And exactly how much is a portion? Ha, got ya! This dish is a favorite at the school where I used to work (in the kitchen). Yummy good! Dannelle
I cook something a look like this. One kid loves it, the other hates it. Have you tried it with Italian sausage? It's very very good, gives it a completely different flavor. Heck, I've done a combo of venison and beef before, too :)
Of course your going to put this yummy recipe here when I'm flippin starving. he he he
I've made a similar dish, but use sweet Italian sausage. And if fresh mozzarella is on sale, I love to use that. Yummmm!
