Neat is overrated!

With the popularity of gourmet cooking, there is a now a strong emphasis on presentation and elegance when serving food. However, there is nothing like messy, comfort food that brings back the joys of childhood when eating was fun and I wore more than I ate.

This recipe was simple to make and with the texture of the portobello and steak sauce flavour, I wasn't even tempted to add my veggie "meat".  Enjoy yourself with this recipe and for those who need it; wear a bib!!
