Yummy! We are vegetarians so we didn't use "real" meat... and it was still awesome!

Made it just as stated with a pinch of chili pepper at the end of the cooking time. I let it simmer for one hour and then it was thick and flavourful. Easy to make and it freezes well. This is something I will certainly make again. Thanks for posting.
