Instructions

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine ingredients in large, deep baking dish (I used my giant Pyrex bowl) and stir gently.

  4. Stir every 30 minutes during baking to prevent sticking.

Warm comforting and filling, serve with some greens or a salad.

You can substitute the dried herbs with fresh but use a tablespoon of each.
