Notes
Tips:This is a great recipe to sneak in some extra veggies for picky eaters. Mushrooms, onions and peppers are a must, but I love when I have zucchini or celery to add too. You don't need to chop them as finely as I do, but because it's easier for the kids to eat them like that, I put in the extra effort. The step of chopping up vegetables is something I try to get done in the morning. I've made myself a habit of taking some time in the morning to work ahead on lunch and dinner. That includes chopping vegetables I know I'll need, putting meat out of the freezer or marinating meat if I put it out the night before, feeding sourdough or mixing a loaf, and things like that.
