I made this tonight for dinner and it was a hit! I used ground turkey and turkey sausage just to try to make it a little healthier and 4 cups of whole peeled tomatoes which I pureed. Next time I will definitely try it with ground beef and sausage because I'm sure it will be even that much better. Thanks for a great recipe!
