I didn't use this exact recipe. My review was actually intended for another OAMC recipe for the same thing. OOPs. I think I will use this one next time though with the addition of celery and maybe even zucchini. I like the idea of "hidden veggies" for the health benefits as well as to stretch the meat. I am so glad that this is cooked and in my freezer. It's such a go to convenience item. I have frozen in 1/2 lb. since there are only 2 of us. Such a time saver. I prefer to have mine cooked and then frozen. I thought this cooked up easily. I was worried that it would cook in very big chunks but it didn't. It was actually easier than 1 lb at a time. I just used a big stock pot.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I love to cook and I love to bake even more. Obviously growing up here in Lancaster County (PA Dutch Country), I come from a long history of women who were homemakers with many children and cooking and baking were MANDATORY every night. 3 course meals with freshly baked desserts were staples every day growing up in my family. I, on the other hand, am a busy, professional, business owner with very long/late hours. I try to make as many homemade meals as possible but it is very difficult with my work schedule.
In this neck of the woods, most recipes we grew up on and love are all stored in the mind only, no paper trails to be found. There are so many recipes I've gathered from watching my mom cook & bake over the years that are consider comfort food to me that I must take the time to write down the measurements so I can share them with all of you. I feel it's the least I can do after all of the wonderful new recipes I've obtained from everyone here. I just love to try new recipes and experiment with new ingredients.
