I use this recipe for more than just hamburger, works with stewing beef, pork, chicken. Thanks for the recipe, my whole family loves it.

This was very easy to fix and had a good taste. Like the other reviewer, I would add some veggies to it. Also, I think it would be good with a little bit of ginger in the sauce.

The only thing missing is some veggies. Next time I'll add some green peppers and carrots with maybe a little more sauce. Overall this was a great dish and with the added veggies it would be a 5 star dish.
