Note
Sauce Ingredients Note: The original directions mention ingredients for the sauce (condensed beef bouillon, oregano, thyme, green pepper, celery, cheddar cheese) that are not listed in the main ingredient list. Ensure you have these on hand or adjust the sauce recipe to use available pantry staples like canned tomato soup or extra tomato sauce.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until steaming hot.
Variations: For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the meat mixture. You can also substitute ground turkey for the beef for a leaner version.
