This recipe was so simple and so good. I put in an additional can of beef broth because I have 5 people, but I do not think it was really needed. All the kids were ready to run when they saw it cooking, but it was really quiet when they started eating, and it was all gone ; ) Thank you!!!

My husband was so happy I made this! I did make a few changes out of necessity! I used chicken broth instead of beef, left out the onion(my husband doesn't like onion) and served it over whole wheat bread. Thanks for a recipe I will use again!
