This is a wonderful recipe. It has become a widely requested recipe at my husbands fishing/hunting events. We always make a huge batch and freeze (without adding the rice). TY TY TY!! -
This was awesome! Made some changes to suit what I had on hand. Sauteed carrots, red pepper, onions and mushrooms in saucepan. Added the flour, transferred mixture to Wok (didn't have dutch oven), and followed remaining directions. Will definitely make again! -
This was great! -
Made for thanksgiving and was a huge hit! I added a can of cream of chicken soup and a can of milk to stretch it, but was fantastic!
