  1. Oh YUM. I made this the other day and substituted the macaroni with orzo and used 4 medium sized zucchini. It was absolutely perfect!
     
  2. Guess it is great - printed out again unknowingly that I had tried it already and again it got lots of star ratings from family. Used 1 pound each hamburger and chorizo sausage and 1 cdn diced/drained tomatoes instead of fresh. Doubled recipe and no leftovers
