Have made this a couple of times and love it! However, it might be a little spicy for some so add the seasoning a little at a time and taste it. You won't be disappointed - a quick meal that seems like you took a long time. Love Sandra Lee for keeping it real!

Sandra Lee is wonderful. She understands that there are some people who have absolutely little time to cook. Her recipes are fast, easy, and interesting.

This was easy and fast and delicious! I couldn't get the right brand of potatoes and the ones I got weren't that great, I'd recommend just boiling some potatoes and add some whipping cream and salt and make your own. Easy. But otherwise, it was great! And my family loved it.
