I want to grow up and BE Ree Drummond The Pinoneer Woman http://thepioneerwoman.com/. I just can't get enough of this woman and her amazing recipes.
BUT let me causion you. Don't look at her website if your dieting, think you should be dieting or if you are denying you should be dieting.
She loves butter and beef and cream. Lots of it.
She also lives on a Ranch. I am sure that is the only reason she cooks this way…I need to move to a ranch.
This recipe is downright amazing. Easy, creamy, a bit spicy (never too much for me) and full of comfort.
This is a MUST try.
And don't say I didn't worn you.
