So easy, you won't believe it!
So I needed something that didn't require too much work time, cook time didn't matter. Found an easy recipe buried in some website, but it needed a couple modifications to give it some flavor. I think next time I will cut the onion down, and add some green pepper also. Also some heat would be nice, but my wife liked it like this.

My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.
