I made the meat version of this recipe except I used ground turkey. It was very good everyone liked it alot. It was very close to steak-n-shakes chili mac which was what I was looking for. I think I screwed up on the sauce part mine tasted a little to much on the worcestershire sauce, I also didn't use the red beans. It turned out real good. thanks
