    Added chopped bell peppers and mushrooms to the mix, it was amazing, tasted sinfully delicious. My boyfriend loved it too packed up the rest for lunches for the week. - 1/17/11

    Used turkey instead of beef, and added a can of undrained diced tomatoes and some Worcestershire sauce. Super easy and really tasty. Thanks for sharing. - 3/5/10

    I really liked this recipe, but I think adding a bit more sauce or maybe some chili beans in sauce would make it amazing :) Also, it seemed like I had way more than 6 (1cup) servings, but I didn't measure. I will make this again - Thanks!! - 2/6/10

    I agree that it did make a LOT! With your advice I did add more beef stock and ketchup/mustard and we liked it a lot. My 2 year old even thought it was great!
    Thanks for rating!
