Very good , I used ground turkey and kittencals Italian seasoning recipe on this site<br/>Also I used red cooking wine i didn't have dry.<br/>For good flavor i used better than bullion beef bullion not that cheap powder stuff. -
I made this last night for dinner and did not change a thing. (except I had more like a pound of ground beef) It was very good, and had great flavor. Even I ate two helpings! Thanks! -
I made this recipe for dinner last night. Didn't change a thing. I used pinot noir wine. The flavor was really good. It only needs to bake 20 mins. DH said he would love to have it again. This would be a great company meal, served with french bread and cesar salad. Thanks for posting this recipe. I did substitute ground turkey for the beef. -
Very good and easy to make - I added a little extra seasoning (some garlic salt, a little minced onion, etc) to give it just a bit more flavor. I also used more cheese because my husband likes things REALLY cheesy. I added a few heavy shakes of parm cheese to the sauce and also on top. I followed everything else exact. I took the cover off for the last 5 min and turned it to broil to brown the cheese. Very good! -
We had this last night for dinner... it was easy and delicious. My husband already said he wanted me to make it again. We didn't have the italian seasoning so I just threw in some oregano and basil. The flavor was terrific. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
