This was fantastic!! My family (all 3 of us) enjoyed it so much! It was a little involved, but nothing like the original recipe from Julia Child - another blogger I read actually made it according to Julia's recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I'm sorry! I forgot to say that I didn't brown the carrots and onions, that would have saved you a little time. Another thing I like to do, if I'm making bacon for breakfast one day, I'll dice some and cook extra and keep it in the frig if I plan on making something like this sometime within a week.
ReplyDeleteI have to amend that there are *5* of is in our family, not three! lol *3 kids and all of them even liked it!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try those tips next time I make it, too! Thanks again!
