Picadillo

I made this for dinner earlier in the week and promised to put the recipe up. So, here it is. Better late than never!

I love this recipe because it is a quick and easy weeknight meal that my whole family will eat. I usually serve it with a salad or steamed green vegetable on the side.

I got this recipe from a cookbook sold by my high school. It was submitted by a classmate's mom. Thanks Mrs. Jennings!
