This has become a favorite for my family. It is quick and easy to prepare, and freezes well allowing us to always keep extra on hand to heat up when we need a quick meal. - 7/21/11

I just made this recipe. It was wonderful! It is very filling & if you want a "comfort food", this would be my suggestion! I did add 1/2 bag of frozen okra to it to thicken it a bit. Thanks for the great recipe! - 10/20/09
