I saw this in that magazine too and tore it out. I haven’t made it yet though because I can’t decide if it sounds good or not. How’d you like it?

Great idea! 🙂

I made this for hubs and kids to take in their lunches (in thermos) this week. What a big hit. It tastes even better than it looks! We just finished dinner and the twins wanted a taste, then then a bowl full. Will definately make again!
P.S. We’ve been making a lot of yummy food from your cookbook. Each night the kids have started a thing where we add smiley faces to the pages in the book for the recipes we like. No kidding, there is not a frown face yet and we have been doing mostly your recipes in that book since the end of January. Each night they do a “thumbs up” and say add a smiley face Mommy, we want to have it again! I’ve enjoyed the savings. (We eat pretty stricly organic and dairy free so our recipes are more than $5 but with your coupon strategy its usually no more than $6-7 a meal and I’m spending no more than $75 a week for all organic meals!–We used to spend upwards of $200). Thanks Erin! Keep up the good work!

@alexis,
Great work Alexis! I think that $6-7 for straight organic and dairy free is fantastic!!! Keep it up!
And enjoy those smiley faces 🙂

I made it tonight for dinner and it was great! I also added a can of diced tomatoes. I think it is going to be great as leftovers too!!

Rice and veggies are very cheap, and stir fry cooking is so healthy, and tastes great. It’s amazing what a little ginger, garlic and spring onion will do.
I love this Italian dish as well. Cooking for cheap tastes great.
Shannon says
Made this the other night with my own “tweeks” to the recipe. The boys loved it. Super fast and yummy on a busy, rainy, damp night.
Melanie says
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I made it yesterday for myself and my husband (and tweaked it a bit to add fresh mushrooms, green pepper, and tomato we had in the house) and let it cook down to an almost hamburger helper consistency. It was SO GOOD. I’ve printed it out and it’s one for the binder!
Ali says
This was delicious! I added a bit of sour cream to my serving, along with some cheese. If I didn’t have a few picky eaters in my house I would have added mushrooms and peppers. Thanks for a great recipe.
Jessica (Cheapskate Life) says
This looks really easy to make. For some reason whenever a recipe calls for pasta sauce, I always want to add black olives! I really like that this will taste good with a variety of ground meats! I think I’ll be using regular ol’ ground beef! We have a surplus of that!

Looks so yummy! I am going to try it this week!
Paw Print Pet Tags says
My whole family will eat this, which is a rare find! Thanks for the recipe.
Becky says
