Notes

My original intention with this dinner was to make it a complete, all-in-one skillet meal with the addition of some potatoes. Unfortunately, some little hands got in my pantry and spilled water all over my bag of potatoes, leaving them completely unusable. So we had some noodles on the side instead.
If you want to make this a complete meal, slice or cube 3-4 potatoes and add with the onions in step 1. Cook as directed.
