This was good comfort food. I did add a jar of pimentos and some peas to this, and also used whole milk instead of evaporated, it was just easier when I got in a hurry, but I still thought it was delicious !! Thank you for sharing. -

I'm a "single" grandma and love it. I'm a widow and have guardianship of my wonderful grandson, 8 yrs old. I also have my brother living with me, rather unconventional family but it works well for us.
