This dish is an adaptation from Taste of Home. I was planning to follow the recipe, but as I began to prepare it I just kept thinking that my family wasn't going to enjoy it. So I made several changes as I cooked to make it more family friendly to my family! ;-) They liked it! You can find the original recipe here.
