Very good and easy! I used 4 cloves garlic skipped the celery because the DS doesn`t like them. And used beef. Thanks.

Pretty good! Very filling, very tasty too, my family really enjoyed it! I thought it needed some spice, maybe 1/2 teaspoon of cajun seasoning or maybe Loisiana hot sauce to taste. I also added salt and pepper that the recipe didn't call for. Thanks Mary!
