Imagine my surprise when I found out (after 3 1/2 yrs here) that this type dish is my DH's idea of comfort food - not at all European or Icelandic & most likely found during his yrs in aeronautical school in the U.S. When he proudly made it for me, it was nothing but beans, grd meat & onion. It really needed some help in my view, so your recipe was my remedy. I made a 1/3 recipe using red onion I had on hand, used the optional brown sugar & added Montreal Steak Seasoning (a favourite SusieQusie introduced me to in the U.S.), so it was rich in garlic flavour. The ease of prep is a big bonus & now we both like the finished dish. It was plenty good & warming on a cold evening served w/some crusty bread & fruit for dessert. I think it would be even better w/cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Thx for another DH-pleaser, Kat's Mom. :-)
