  • “This was so easy and really hearty. I added a dollop of sour cream and had a bowl for dinner. I made it with olive oil instead of bacon fat and it was very tasty. On WW, it comes out to only four points, even with the oil..Thanks!!!”

  • “Yummy, indeed!I really loved the flavor of this, but my husband and roommate weren’t as thrilled.”Don’t get me wrong, it’s potatoes.You can’t go wrong with potatoes!” my husband says.I added some polish sausage and served this as dinner.I thought it was great, and a delicious way to use canned carrots, which I ordinarily would never eat.I always reserve the right to bump up the star rating based on ease of cooking and frugality – This recipe fits both bills!And it reheated wonderfully for lunch today!Great recipe.”
