This is a modified version of a dish that my mother used to cook.  Being the butter lover that she is her recipe included 1/2 cup butter.  I have lightened things up a bit but it still has great flavor.  This one pot dish required little prep work and very little monitoring.  You can serve with a you choice of vegetables and freeze leftovers for a quick meal.  I hope that you enjoy this meal as much as my family has.
