This is a really tasty combination. I used just half the amount of beef and I just mixed in the ingredients rather than stuffing them into the middle. I look forward to having them again!

This is SO good!! I fried up some green peppers and mushrooms as toppings.

Didn't use the pineapple rings and they were delicious!
