    I added a can of diced tomatoes and some chopped onions to the ground beef while it was cooking, and it added even more flavor!

  • Isaac Nicolas

    I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I omitted the crushed red pepper flakes. It was still really good!

  • Lee Kris

    This was a simple and delicious meal! My family loved it, and it was so easy to throw together on a busy weeknight.

  • Joel Kris

    I made this in my slow cooker, and it turned out great! I just browned the ground beef first and then added everything to the slow cooker and cooked it on low for 4 hours.
