Four ingredient dinner ☺️

Ok it was actually five because I added garlic. This was so quick to throw together and it was so good. This will definitely be made again in the future. Next time I will add cabbage and then top everything with a dollop of sour cream and some crumbled crispy bacon. #dinnerideas #easydinner #4ingredients #dinnermadeeasy #weeknightdinner
