I have been making this for years and my family loves it! I substitute the corn for a can of peas and carrots. If I need to save time I use a packet of Idahoan family size instant potatoes. This was one of the first real meals my daughter ate because everything is already small and easy to chew!

Cut this down for DH and I and followed the instructions. Next time I will steam a few carrots and and them with some peas. DH and I enjoyed this but I think I will also make a little gravy to add to the meat mixture. (We like it better that way) Thank you for posting. Made for Fall PAC 2012.
