So, who else is not a fan of cooking? Yup. Me either. My idea of cooking dinner is making a BLT or cooking some eggs. Ha! Yes. I like simple and easy meals if I have to cook. Ok, so Kraft sent over their new PHILADELPHIA cooking cream to try out. And, I was definitely all about trying this out. I feel bad that my poor hubs cooks all the meals…. but, then I remember I don’t know how to cook and it usually doesn’t taste good when I try. But, goodness… you just put everything I need to add flavor to a meal in one little package: I think I can handle it!
This is how I made dinner last night! I took on this challenge and whooped it in the buns. I made a super yummy meal for my family and it was actually delicious. Plus: it was so freakin’ simple you guys. I mean siiiimpppple. I really believe this will be a keeper for our family. The cream was so easy to use.
Ok, since it was soooo delicious. I wanted to share the recipe with all of you. Most of the ingredients are probably already in your home. And, the cooking cream is reasonably priced. ::high fives::

I just bought that stuff the other day when I saw it at the grocery, but had no idea in what capacity I was going to use it. Now i know, thank you for the recipe! I don't love cooking either, but I am trying to do more of it too 🙂
My mom is like that she doesn't enjoy cooking but my dad really likes too.
It's so convenient for me. 😀 Ha!
