Notes

This dish can be served with a plate of white rice,  or with homemade mashed potatoes. A dinner salad on the side makes it the perfect combination and filling meal.

We usually have a roasted vegetable such as asparagus or green beans, and some homemade garlic toast as a side. 

This dish is a meal itself, it never hurts to add some extra vegetables in your meal. I also tend to add some onions in the skillet when I am browning the ground beef. Saute until they turn opaque and are softened. 

This is a very versatile meal that you can add to, using basically anything your family enjoys.
