I omitted the mushrooms, used crushed pineapple and instead of 4 cans of gravy, I used a large jar of beef and mushroom gravy along with a can of Campbells beef consomme. Also added a splash of Worcestershire, red pepper flakes, and some water chestnuts. My DH loved it and couldn't believe he liked it so much after I began rattling off all the ingredients. We've made this several times and it's become an easy quick dinner during the workweek.

Great pantry recipe. I used 1-1/2 lbs gr. beef, 2 cups of gravy, omitted the mushrooms and used crushed pineapple. We couldn't taste the pineapple though. Very tasty!

I used white gravy instead of beef gravy.There is a lot of sodium in the beef gravy. I also used 1/4 cup soy sauce Kikkomen, the drained cold pineapple juice thickened with a little cornstarch and added to the pasta. Before serving I plucked the pineapple chunks out and served separately.I also used ground turkey. This was very good. By serving the pineapple seprately, everyone could enjoy the dish and flavor. Thanks for posting!

I have made this twice and it is a huge favorite in my household! I do leave out the mushrooms because my son isn't a fan and I use a large can of pineapple chunks. Delicious!

I have to admit, I've been looking at this recipe over the years and have been trying to figure out what it would taste like, and I was skeptical, but every-so-often, it would come up again whilst doing various searches and stuff, and so when it showed up again the other day on the updated reviews I figured it was time to give it a shot; All's I gotta say is, I am so mad for not trying it years ago! LOL.. this is a fantasic combination of flavors, that go well together! I have been trying to figure out what it reminds me of for other people to have an idea, and you know - it tastes just like a delicious chinese lo-mein, with surprise bites of pineapple once in a while! Totally delicious - I will be making this often! Thanks again, Marla!
