Join the discussionI will not be making this again! Followed the directions to the exact specifications, and it tasted like nothing. The cat wouldn’t even eat it, and he eats everything.
So sorry to hear you didn’t like this, Lisa! If you like a more flavorful dish and wanted to try it again, you could increase the garlic, black pepper and salt.
