After reading the other review, i decided to add 1/2 packet of taco seasoning mix to the meat. So instead of Italian, I changed it to Mexican. Family loved it. I'm sure that some would love this as is, but my family just prefers more zip.

It was very easy to make however, I feel it didn't have a lot of flavor it seemed to lack something. I am not sure what I will try next time to add more flavor, but will make it again.
