Curiously enough that was the first way I learned to make it.
A girlfriend wanted to cook for me when I was about 16-17. I continued to use that until my mid 20's (although I called it "glop"). If you put other stuff in it, it can taste OK. I later learned to make stroganoff, and it's actually quite good.
