No question. This one was a hit. The boys all loved it. All 3 of them, lol. I liked it. It's nothing special, but it's easy enough and has a nice flavor to it. I really like the Worcestershire cooked with the meat. That adds an extra little flavor dimension to it. I used ground turkey with no problems. Definitely a keeper for us. -
I probably should not rate this, as I used a couple of different ingredients than listed. I used kidney beans. I also used a can of rotel tomatoes instead of the tomato paste as I didn't have any on hand. This was really good. My son couldn't get enough of it. He and I like anything with rotel in it. Will make this often. -
I've been making this for years. Sometimes I throw in a can of mixed vegetables or corn that has been drained. It seems men and kids really like this dish. Thanks for posting.

This was a great, quick, kid friendly meal. I think next time I'll add tomatoes in place of tomato paste. -
I was working on cleaning out the pantry, before I bought more groceries and came across this recipe. I had all these ingrediants on hand! My kids both loved it, and I like how simple it is to throw together! Will be a definite keeper in our house!

This was extremely easy to make. With the help of my mini food processor, it was on the table in under 20 minutes. I substituted 2 cloves of garlic for the garlic powder. I'll make this one again. Made for *Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup 2009* game
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I like baking fun treats way more than cooking an actual meal! My favorite things to make are muffins, cookies and pancakes. Since joining Zaar I've been making awesome meals. I can't believe I'm marinating and grilling and cooking like never before!
My rating system:
***** - Fabulous! I loved it, everyone here loved it, and we can't wait to make it again! A keeper and a recipe I'd recommend.
**** - Nice recipe! 'Good' as opposed to 'great', but still worth making again!
*** - Not so hot. We didn't love it, but maybe it was just because of our palates. Won't make again, but not because there was something wrong with the recipe.
** - Disappointing. Something's not right, or turned out really bad or hardly edible.
* - Does this recipe need to be proof read? I think something was missing or there was a typo because this recipe is totally un-useable.
