Comfort food for you...

I got this recipe from Simple Recipes & it was yummy! Below is my adaptation. It is pretty much the same as the original recipe, except i added the garlic & cheese. I also used ground turkey instead of ground beef, because we were having Brad's family over for dinner & his sister is allergic to beef! It turned out really good.

  1. Oh my I love comfort food. I'm having a minor freakout because comfort food is not the same up north.

  2. This looks really good and it doesn't sound that difficult so I'm going to give it a try.
