    Absolutely, yummy! Even my meat luvin' hubby said this one gets a 4 or 5 stars. I added tomato juice and little corn starch for thickening. I used Smart Balance light for the margarine. It turned out great! - 3/24/10

    This was sooo yummy! I just kind of used what I had, like adding carrot and frozen peas instead of squash and beans. It turned out great and the crust on top was awesome, will definitely make it again. - 1/22/09
