OMGosh sorry everyone still behind on post and life is running over me ... hehe. Here is a recipe I did about a year ago, yes I'm that far back with some recipes .. lol Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TIP: When ground beef goes on sale for the family pack buy it up, I usually will by 3. I'll put 2 in the freezer and then I brown up one, that way when I come home from work all I have to do is mix the other ingredients and throw it in the oven. Believe me it can save 20 minutes and that my friends is helpful when you don't home until 6pm.
