Story

Do you remember those pre-boxed skillet meals back in the 70's or 80's? I can't believe I bought those and actually fed them to my family! This kind of skillet dinner is so quick and easy it's ridiculous to buy the pre-boxed ones. Just check out the ingredients you can't pronounce on those boxes, and the tremendous amount of sodium. And let's not forget to mention the dollars saved. This recipe may seem almost too simple, but it's a real dinner time saver when you need one. Happy eating!
