Made this for DH and I so I cut the recipe in half and wish I would have left the full amount...I wanted some the next day! This was really quite easy and delicious. I followed the directions using beef broth and adding dry sherry. Definately a keeper. Made for New Kids on the Block. Thank you for submitting the recipe.
