"A lifelong friend gave me this recipe. It so good and kids love it. The recipe is easily doubled, even tripled so you have plenty of leftovers and plenty to freeze. If you freeze it, just add the bread crumbs and cheese later. Serve with crusty french bread and fruit or just by itself. Enjoy!!! PS: I would add the ketchup a little at the time and taste test, so you don't more of a ketchup flavor than you like!"

Made this tonight for diner. My DD simply loved it. Must be a ketchup thing for kids. It did have a good flavor. It was great that is was quick to put together. I sauteed the beef with the onions and peppers together at the same time. Didn't find a need to do them separate. I used a red pepper cause I am not fond of green ones. I did add some salt and pepper and some garlic powder though. As well no way did I come close to adding 24 oz of ketchup. I may of put between 8 and 10 oz. only. I found that to be plenty and it added a really nice flavor. This actually made enough for at least 10 people. But that is okay because I froze the rest in containers for 2 and it will make great lunches. Silly me though forgot to add the breadcrumbs though, but I don't think it affected the taste in the end. It took about 30 minutes in the oven to bubble then added the cheese for another 15 minutes. I would definitely make this recipe again. Thanks for posting Bobtail.

Very, very good! Definitely a kid pleaser! 2 kids gave it "5 Stars" and 1 kid gave it "3 Stars", and I personally gave it "5 Stars too!" So super-easy...I thought that the breadcrumbs and cheese added at the end was the "icing on the cake", so to speak... I took your advice, Bobtail, and put in ketchup a little at a time -- ended up putting 10 oz. in. The kids loved the flavor and I loved the ease in making it! Thank you for sharing your friend's recipe! It's a keeper in my house.....;)
