This dish is a REAL winner.  Uses ground beef and ready in less than 30 minutes with a minimum of prep.  Who could ask for more?

This recipe comes from my blogging buddy Lillian R who personally developed this recipe in her own kitchen.  Whoever makes it gives it rave reviews.

Lillian has very kindly consented to me presenting her dish on my own blog.  I have made some additions, one she even recommended–adding baby carrots for a little crunch factor and color.

Easy and inexpensive

Make sure to check her blog for many fantastic recipes, including the original of this.  She has tried literally thousands of online recipes and has posted hundreds of results on her blog with her own critiques.  Pull up a chair, grab a cup of coffee and visit with Lillian here:
