We really enjoyed this for our meal tonight. It was pretty easy to put together and very yummy. I think it would also be a great way so get kids to eat veggies as you could chop up nearly any vegetable into the meat mixture. The only reason that I am giving this four stars rather than five is that I think it could perhaps use some extra seasoning in the meat mixture. Perhaps some garlic salt instead of normal salt? Something like that. Otherwise this is a great and different meal. I will be making it again and I will use it as a base to explore. Made for PAC Spring 2008.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
