In The Kitchen With April

For my first new post on inthekitchenwithapril.com, I really wanted the dish to be amazing and I must say the dish I made tonight goes above and beyond.  It was so good, in fact, that there was none left.   That is right NONE.  We were scraping the bottom of the pans to get all the yummy, creamy potatoes and all the flavorful gravy because we didn’t want to leave any behind.  I don’t want to admit it, but I made creamy mashed potatoes AND rice.  I had asked my daughter which one she wanted and she jokingly said “both”.  Since we only had about 5 potatoes at home, I was afraid it would not be enough, so I also made a small amount of rice thinking whatever was left of the rice, could be used to make “sugared” rice.  This was something my mother would make for us after we ate dinner if there was leftover rice, she would sprinkle it with sugar and butter and it was so delicious.  Alas, we didn’t have “sugared” rice today, but after that delicious meal, I don’t think anyone cared! I hope you will try this recipe, it is super easy either way but you can fuhgedaboutit if you put it in the slow cooker.  Afiyet olsun!
