This was really good and very simple to make. Really handy recipe in a pinch. I added cumin and fennel seed to the beef and it really made this recipe for me and my family. Thank you!

We have a tomato plant in our back yard and have been looking for recipes incorporating them so when I saw this, I really got my hopes up and let me tell you it did not disappoint. It is very easy to make (and tasty too) and the ingredients are simple and inexpensive. I have 2 picky little eaters at home and not only were there no leftovers but they both were asking for more (and that NEVER happens). We will definatly be having it again. Thanks.
