I love this recipe and I do add ground beef. Today I'm going to use ground lamb, I'm sure it will be good.

I have a recipe similar to this. I add some browned hamburger. I used two fresh tomatoes from the garden and add about a 1/2 cup of your favorite chunky salsa, and of course mushrooms.

I would serve this as a side dish instead of a main dish. It's a bit on the bland side and not very filling.

Excellent! Even for non-vegetable lovers! Would add some more salt or seasoning though.
