I haven't made this yet but I think instead of jar or canned tomato sauce, I'll use canned diced tomatoes and add my own seasoning.

I thought this was excellent! I made it on the stove top to save time, so I did bake the potatoes seperate. It was not bland and my sauce was a nice golden brown color. I had the neighbors over for dinner and they loved it! Next time I'm going to double it!

I did not care for this recipe at all. The potatoes were the best part. The meat was kind of tough and dry, but the worst part was the tomato sauce-it was an unattractive greasy orange color and tasted very bland. I would not make this again.
