Most days, I get home around 7pm and I really don’t have time to make dinner. These days, Gary has been working OT as well, so by the time we get home, we just want to order takeout and call it a day. Of course, if we did that, we’d be broke (not to mention a lot heavier). Not only does our regular dinners allow us to save, it’s a lot healthier than some options out there. Of course, Gary wouldn’t mind eating at his favorite Hawaiian takeout place every day if I let him.
I looked in the pantry and fridge and came up with this dish. It was great over rice. Of course, we eat everything with rice, even if there are potatoes in the dish already. It can be eaten as is because it’s a hearty enough dish to do so.

This is such a great recipe for using up pantry items. Great idea! I'll definitely keep this because I have a lot of those "what am I going to make??" moments :)
