I made changes to the ingredient amounts , but was happy with the results. I try to use more veggies in my lunches so increased the green beans & decreased the beef and then proceeded with the recipe. This makes lots of sauce so I added some cooked brown rice at the end, but others might prefer to stir in noodles or serve over rice. The flavor is mild and marries well with the beef & green beans. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
