I swore I was not going to eat it because of the brown sugar but I only used a 4th of a cup of very loosely scooped brown sugar which kept it from carmelizing and being way too sweet. I ended upeating almost all of this! Shhh, don't tell anyone!The ingredients are simple, the meat and noodles exceptionally easy to cook. This is a fast, easy go to on a busy week night.
