Here is the proof:
*This recipe known as my name as soon as I first viewed it. Regrettably, I simply needed to simplify it. Rather of creating homemade mashed taters, I made use of loaded instant mashed taters and that i used cooking dark wine rather of the consuming wine. It required more than half an hour and I needed to alter the bake to broil therefore it would brown on top. But altogether, I give this dish 4 Yummy Yum's! So if you're will make this, then please have two hrs.
