This was great! Easy and tasty. My 1 1/2 year old loved it, he surprised me with how much he ate!<br/>Only modifications that I made were adding 1/2 of a green bell pepper that I sauteed with the onion. I also added 1 tsp of sugar.<br/>Very nice homemade recipe that beats store-bought hands down! Thanks for posting.
