I’m excited to share one of my all-time favorite family recipes with you today. This frugal and delicious dish has been a staple in our home for as long as I can remember. I actually started making it when I was just a kid, cooking for my large family, and it’s still a hit to this day! 🍽️
The best part? You can keep all the ingredients for the sauce right in your pantry, making it super easy to whip up anytime. Whether you’re in a rush or just craving something cozy and comforting, this recipe has got you covered. It’s so simple and fast, you’ll wonder why you didn’t make it sooner!
Another great thing about this recipe is its versatility. While we often enjoy it with chicken, it also makes an amazing sauce for meatballs. Serve it over some Rice-A-Roni, and you’ve got a meal that’s both quick and perfectly seasoned. If you’re a fan of slow cooking, this dish works wonderfully in a crockpot, too! 🥘
