The winter months are still here and even though that doesn’t mean snow or freezing weather here in Texas, it does mean comforting food! I know everyone else is trying to eat healthier, but I look at it this way. We are still in the throws of sweater/layering weather and the fresh produce isn’t all that great right now to strictly start eating just salads. Am I right?
When eating comfort food, full flavor is always best! It’s super creamy, savory and all around perfect! I am now completely craving this dish right now.
husband has never been a super fan of mushroom until I made this for
him. Sometimes mushrooms can have a weird texture or taste very
mushroom-y. In this dish they are perfect! However, feel free to leave
them out and it’s still a really great dinner!
We typically serve this over mashed potatoes, but it’s fantastic over rice or pasta.
