    Good
    A couple of tweaks, but it was still very good! Easy to make in a hurry and able to use what is left in the fridge before grocery shopping day!! ;) - 1/16/13

    Just OK. It does need a lot more flavor. I added some hot pepper to spice it up after tasting it and used round steak instead of ground beef. - 1/5/11
