    I froze half of it before baking and it worked perfectly for a quick meal later in the month.

  • Deon Schuppe

    The sauce was a little bland for my taste, so I added some garlic powder and oregano. It was perfect after that!

  • Shad Friesen

    I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still delicious and a bit healthier.
