I am always happy when I find a recipe that gives me another opportunity to use my cast iron skillet. I waxed and waned for years about buying one. Mostly because I’m kind of picky when it comes to real estate in my kitchen. I only want the kitchen to have items that I will use again and again and again.
So you won’t find a pasta machine. Or a bread mixer. Or any as-seen-on-tv gadget. And as Sarah will tell you, there’s not even a rolling pin.
For realz.
So when I finally caved in buying the cast iron pan last year, it was not before lots of pause. I mean, especially because it can’t go in the dishwasher.
This recipe? Perfect for your cast iron skillet. But fear not, any oven-safe skillet will do.
It is the perfect dish for a weeknight. Because you can be done in just about a half hour. Because it doesn’t use any fancy ingredients. And because it’s pretty family-approved.
And really, is there anything else?
The recipe comes from the folks at Dinner: A Love Story, and it’s just another representation of why I love their recipes. Non-fussy. Totally about comfort. And family. Their recipes allow you to skip slaving over a hot stove for hours, and, instead, give you time to celebrate what matters … spending time with those you love most.
If you don’t already have their cookbook, add it to your list. You won’t be disappointed.
Psst … this delicious stone fruit cobbler is also from the same cookbook.
