I normally don’t like things flavored with Italian seasoning, but this just happened to be absolutely amazing. It was so simple to make, especially because it was all done in one pot, making cleanup a breeze.

Make this recipe of your favorite weeknight fall staples. This recipe makes enough for 4 to 5 hearty servings.

And yes my pic is ugly but I left my camera at work :-)
