Notes

Tammy’s Tips

This is a true crowd-pleaser that you can easily customize for your family. If you have a picky eater, feel free to skip the mixed vegetables or substitute the cream of mushroom with cream of chicken soup. If you don't have Complete Seasoning on hand, you can achieve a similar flavor by using 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
