My mom loves to pair it with cottage cheese. If you do not add green beans to the recipe, they make a good side.
Recipe's Story:
This is such a midwestern staple if I do say so myself. My mom would make this often. Probably because it was an easy go to that covered all the nutritional basis and its very tasty. It is in my top 10 meals made that makes me think of home.
