This is stick-to-your-ribs comfort food. I didn't have the Instant Roasted Garlic Potatoes on hand, but had the Buttery ones. I added roasted garlic to the water and milk as I heated it before I stirred in the potato pouches. It worked well. I also used Dijon mustard instead of yellow, as we really like that flavor. This was simple to throw together and filling enough for my hardworking husband. Served with steamed green beans and salad, it was a complete meal.
