I hope you will enjoy this tasty dish that is one of the first dishes I ever made for company, as a young bride. I was over the moon with the results. It was quick and easy, tasted great and is perfect for family or friends. You will want some nice crusty bread to get the last of the gravy. This dish is wonderful on its own, but certainly shines over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.
