I doubled the recipe for the size of my family. I also added 1 tsp. of basil and 1/2 tsp. of black pepper to boost the flavor. We liked it a lot!

I used pasta sauce and tomato paste instead of the tomatoe sauce and added some peas. I liked it for a nice lunch.

This dish is good even better leftover, chilled. I add quartered turkey pepperoni slices, which is just the thing to bring out the other Italian/tomato flavors!

I have read the other reviews and adjusted it and it turned out great!! I sauteed onions with 8oz of mushrooms added garlic salt, and half of cup of beer. To thicken it added a tablespoon of cornstarch. Then followed the rest of instruction then on top i added half of cup of Cheddar cheese!! yam!!

This recipe had no flavor. We threw away the leftovers - and there were a lot of leftovers, since nobody wanted to eat it!

This recipe turned out to be pretty bland. I would make it again but I would add more spices or something to kick the flavor up a notch.
