This is a classic comfort food that my mother used to serve many times while growing up, it was a simple, flavorful and hearty meal. It was one of those stick to your ribs type of meals that was perfect for a winter or early spring evening around the dinner table. I remember mom would always serve it with oven toasted French bread or garlic bread and a simple green salad. For a humble meal, this was and still is one of those that remain with me to this day.
