Coleman Fold N Go Propane Stove
Because we live in Arizona where we are often under fire restrictions during the hot and dry summer months, we often prepare stovetop meals on our camping trips.
When that happens, I like cooking on my Coleman Fold N Go Propane Stove that operates using the fuel from 1 pound propane cylinders.
This is the stove I used when filming this recipe for the Great Food Good Neighbors TV show.

Because this dish is a little indulgent with the heavy cream, I like to serve it with a crisp side salad and a light dressing.
It’s also good with my Caesar’s Salad Dressing That Does Not Need “The Rule”!
