This recipe came from one of those long-week, long-days, need to throw something together evening meals. But it was surprisingly tasty and actually elevated, and not at all “from-a-jar”. And it really only takes a little bit of cream! Well, not quite. I’ve mentioned it before, but even as a self-proclaimed “foodie”, I feel like canned and jarred items have their place.
