-----------------------------
Original poster's note: Since there are a lot of ingredients to measure out, which is time consuming, I always double this recipe and freeze individual dinners for later. I do cook it differently. I completely cook the ground beef in a separate pan, drain the fat, then add the cooked beef to the cooked vegetables. I also use regular canned peeled tomatoes instead of canned plum tomatoes because plum tomatoes are so expensive. I also use 2 Tablespoons chili powder instead of 1 T like the recipe calls for, and I add an 8-ounce can of tomato sauce or paste. I also use a whole bell pepper. (I use kidney beans). You will have to make it and adjust ingredients to your taste. Shared by: Lisa
