Don’t even think about judging this. I noted it was a short cut. Most of my recipes are from scratch, but sometimes, you need something simple that you can throw together to feed your family or share with some of your less “cooks in the kitchen” friends or loved ones that are trying to learn. I actually created this recipe for my daughter. Something easy that she could put together with confidence and not wonder if it will be good. This always turns out the same. No measuring fat to flour ratios or making sure you have well seasoned chicken broth or the knife skills to cut the veggies small enough to get fully done in the baking time. That’s enough to discourage a novice cook! Anyway, cook this with pride, it is consistent, delicious and easy and honestly, no one will know that you didn’t cook this from scratch unless you tell on yourself. So, shush, just another cooking secret!!
