I've been looking for a quick and easy recipe for those busy week nights. This fits the bill!! I used leftover pasta sauce with the can of tomatoes and added a can of mushrooms. I also used brown rice instead of white and ground white meat turkey instead of beef. This is a keeper! And so much better for you than Hamburger helper......ICK!!!

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
