"This recipe came from a friend of mine. I changed it a bit, I have a habit of browning my hamburger in bacon grease after I browned my bacon when any recipes call for both. My kids hate veggies, I made this one week-end for me and DH to have for a meal and left overs the next day. My college kids came home (3 of them) they asked me what was in the pot and boom, not a tsp. was left after we ate. It wasn't even lunch time yet!!! Oh, my teen son saw them eat it and he joined in also!!!! They still hate veggies but not this stuff!"
