A yummy, easy dinner! I used tomato sauce since I didn't have tomato puree and about 4 cups of spinach. Next time I might add a little red pepper flakes.
My family loved it! I made it exactly as stated (I always do that the first time I make something), except for adding more salt after tasting it before adding the cheese. My husband added hot sauce, but no one else felt the need to add anything.

This is a keeper. The family loved it. I did take the advice of others and used half the amount of broth. Added onion and ofcourse more garlic. Plenty of leftovers.

Love it!
Very good! We make this often in our home!
:( My DH didn't care for it. So disappointed. :(
I would have given this recipe 5 stars if the taste hadn't been a tad on the bland side. I will make it again by using half ground beef,and half spicy Italian sausage,and less beef broth. I am confident that will do the trick to make it a recipe staple at my house. :)
This is excellent! Based on other suggestions, I reduced the beef broth to 1/2 can and added 1/2 onion and 2 cups mushrooms. We will be eating this again!
