My husband greeted me with this after I came home from a flight back East. He just threw it all together and with a house of teenagers it became one of the family's favorites. Our children are all grown now but they still are sharing this incredibly easy and wonderfully flavorful one-dish dinner with their families and friends. Bless all husbands who cook better than their wives!! Serve with hot bisquits and salad for a company good meal.
