    Tastes really good, but next time I might use tomato paste instead of sauce, because it was very liquid, even without adding water. Also, I mixed all the dry seasonings in a small baggie and shook them up before pouring them on, so they would distribute evenly. - 4/29/08

    This is a wonderful and easy recipe to make. We used egg noodles instead of the potatoes. I also put it in the crock pot on low for a couple of hours since I love to make my meals ahead of time. - 4/27/08
