This recipe is tops for delivering a lot of flavor while being a healthy dish that offers a very forgiving attitude. I replaced the meat with t.v.p. and used all tomato sauce instead of adding ketchup. Lastly I used fat free cheese. It's very easy to make and a real treat. Thank you very much for posting this one Goochie. Made for PAC, Spring '08
