Made for from the Pantry Challenge Feb 2012. First let me explain that we loved the flavors of the sauce! It was even better the 2nd time around. I used shredded and and sliced zucchinni from my freezer, tomatoes from my freezer, and 2 jars of Healthy chunky sauce Prego. I also used the 2 lbs of hamburger as stated. This made so much sauce it certainly is rated wrong for 4 people. I would not hesitate to say it could serve up to 20-24 people at the minimum. The flavors were great and I will use this again to use up the several frozen bags of zucchini I have. I ended up freezing 4 qts and used it for 2 meals of 3. Thank you chef.
