Satnan: Hey kids! What’s for Thanksgiving dinner?

Ask my family and they will tell you: I am a proponent of the “one-dish meal,” concoctions that incorporate meat, vegetables and sometimes rice or pasta into an “everything in one bite” medley.

I think I got it from Grandma Satnan, who would serve something she called “goulash” that was a mixture of ground beef and peas in a sweetened tomato puree sauce served over mashed potatoes. When I was a kid, I couldn’t get enough of it.
