Author Notes
Growing up this was always my favorite Thanksgiving dish which was made by my Aunt Sue. While the original recipe was delicious, it relied heavily on processed foods including french onion soup packets. I removed these items the past couple of years in favor of more natural but just as tasty ingredients. As a tip, if you have any leftovers, it makes a great spread to put on that Thanksgiving leftover sandwich. —Abduffy
