RECIPE BACKSTORY
I modified this from a Good Housekeeping recipe to accommodate some of the ingredients I had on hand and wanted to use. You could easily make it with cooked chicken or beef strips. Amounts and times are approximate since I made this up as I went. Tweak to your preference/experience.
