This was OK for us. We thought the meat could have used more seasoning and it was really hard to get all the grease out of the pan. Next time I think I would cook the meat without the "toppings", drain the grease and then add the toppings and cook for about five minutes. I think this way it would be easier to drain. Made for Spring PAC 2011.
