I've made this a few times & enjoyed it each time. Made a few adjustments for our tastes; increased the beef, garlic & worcestershire. Once I even threw in some fresh spinach into the meat mixture and used a sliced up a baked potatoe I had on hand. I especially enjoyed the french-fried onions that go on top, they add a great flavour, thanks for sharing.
