You are right-on to describe this as comfort food. This is meat & potato goodness for a DH + a kid-pleaser for a family. It is very easy-to-fix & budget-friendly too. I see this as a main dish that serves 4 more than a side, but admit I used more grd meat due to pkg size. I found the meat mix in need of seasoning & added salt + garlic. A few sprinkles of dried parsley on top for color & Voila! DH could not get enough of this, Brenda, & wants it "at least twice a month". Who knew? Not me, till I found your recipe. Thx for sharing it w/us.
