Very, very yummy! I used leftover roast beef and fresh tomatoes rather than canned, but otherwise followed this recipe exactly. It was just barely enough for our family of 5. A great way to use up leftover roast, for sure!

We enjoyed this recipe very much. Cooked it just like you posted. We simply just ate it out of a bowl and got our bellys full. Simple to follow recipe. Thank You for posting. Hugs

This was a great hearty meal for when you are hungry and you want something good and filling. I added a beef bullion cube to add some flavor. I also served with mashed potatoes and mixed steamed vegies. Be careful with the chili sauce because mine kind of dominated the flavor pool. I added a little less then half a cup and it was almost too much. I used 2 cans of tomatoes and it tasted great but probably could have cut it down to one. I had to add more H20 about half way through. Thank you for the great tasting low cost recipe :)
