I can’t help it. Try as I might, I will always be a Midwestern girl. I’ll forever call it “pop” no matter how many people correct me and tell me it’s “soda”. Chicago will always be my favorite city in the whole wide world. And for me, meat and potatoes is what hits the spot on cold dark winter nights.
Well, that and watching Love Actually all December long. It’s in my top 5 Christmas movies. (And I don’t care what you say- yes, it’s a Christmas movie).
So when I came upon this dish in my binder o’ recipes and realized a) it sounded fantastic and b) I’d never made it before, I had to give it a whirl.
Earthy, meaty mushroom. Red wine. Thyme. Oh so fantastic. And incredibly easy. The entire dinner took me like 15 minutes start to finish. (Yes, I did cheat and used boxed mashed potatoes. If you’re not keen on them, obviously it’ll take you a bit more than 15 minutes to make traditional potatoes. I don’t have the patience for that)
