Great dish! Not to spicy for the younger set, but enough seasoning to appeal to everyone. Easy and quick to make, and a well stocked kitchen will usually have all the ingredients on hand. A great highschool football game night dish. My husband topped his with some grated cheddar cheese. Yumm! (If this posts twice, please excuse me. The posting gremlins are working overtime tonight. :) -
I try to be very fair and honest in my reviews and I'm being quite frank when I tell you I didn't like this recipe at all. It had a strange sugary taste, and it ended up in the garbage, I followed the recipe exactly. I've searched the net for loosemeat sandwiches and maid-rites as they are also known,and I have seen this recipe many times and in my opinion I don't think this one's even close to the real recipe.I don't think the sugar and tomato juice belong in this recipe. Check out Claire de Luna #58430 it is nearer to the real thing. My intent is not to be mean and sarcastic but I just thought this recipe didn't cut it. I am looking forward to trying one or more of your other dishes which I know will be probably be most delicious! -
Delicious and so easy! I made this yesterday and dh and I loved it. I didn't have any kitchen bouquet so I used liquid smoke instead. Also, I used 1/4 tsp. of cayenne and it was just spicey enough. I will be making this often for quick meals. Thanks for sharing!

YUMMY! Easy! My son loved it and asked for more. -
My family enjoyed this recipe even thought they enjoyed my sloppy joe recipe better. This is a nice change. Quick, easy and ingredients I have on hand. Served it with lite hamburgher buns, baked mac and cheese and side of fresh carrots and celery. This was a great weekend meal when I am busy running kids around. Thanks Mark!!

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
