"I came up with this recipe using other recipes on this site. It was awsome! Even my picky boyfriend loved it. You don't have to use ground beef and turkey. I just usually pre portion my meat that way."

MADE FOR SPRING PAC 2009 This dish was just okay for us. It just seemed to be missing something. Maybe we like things a little spicier...I'm not sure. It smelled wonderful...the flavor just wasn't there for us.
