About the Recipe
This crowd pleaser is nice enough to serve to guests - but simple enough the kiddos still love it. Since you make everything in one bowl, cleanup is a breeze. It is also easy to double the recipe and freeze the second batch for a day cooking isn't in the cards - or to give to a friend who needs dinner for the night!

Pioneer Tip:
When I make this recipe, I always double it—and cook one for dinner and put the other in the freezer for a day I don’t feel like cooking!
