Notes

I have turned this into a complete meal for my family by adding cubed ham pieces. The flavor combination is perfect. You could also try this with hamburger or shredded chicken.

Also, I have added 1 cup of milk and ½ tbsp of cornstarch to this dish to make it creamier and more liquid remained. This tasted fabulous to us!
