It was great!!! As with every recipe - you need to season to your own taste. I used the same seasoning but my family requires more of it... Added 1 1/2 cups beef broth and used a half a bag of frozen store brand onion/bell pepper blend for the veggies - sauteed them with the meat. Cooked the noodles (shells) al-dente in a separate pot cz that's what I know best but then I let it all simmer together for a while before serving. It does make a lot - plenty of leftovers. Was super easy to make with less mess and perfect for my family. I will DEF make this again ๐๐๐
