Our church has been making a sheet pan version of this dinner for years and delivering it to a local shelter during the holidays. The shelter serves it to anyone needing a hot meal. When I first saw the ingredients and directions I was skeptical at how simple it was, but decided to buy extra ingredients and make it for our family for dinner that night too. It was a hit! It is simple, but filling and delicious.

It was super easy to adapt the recipe for a slow cooker. I can prep this in under 10 minutes in the morning or early afternoon and it’s hot and ready at dinner time! Scroll to the end for the sheet pan instructions.
