Busy Mom 628's Note:

Great way to use all the garden cucumbers I get around the end of summer. Any ground meat would work, we use venison burger if we have any left.

I really liked the recipe, but my husband thought it was only okay so the 4 stars is the average of our opinions. I did the recipe with ground deer and the only thing I changed was to leave the salt out because I know that the beef bouillon we have is really salty. It is probably only something I would make when DH can't join me for dinner as he likes other things I cook with ground deer that are less work.
