Reviews
“Fixed this for dinner tonight and the family all agreed it is one we definitely want to have again.I mixed up the recipe and put all the onions in the broth at the beginning and had none left to mix with the meat.It was still excellent.Try a little spoonful of sour cream on the top when served–yummy.”
