I've had this recipe for several years and made it several times. I've found it's easiest to use an electric skillet to brown the beef mixture, since there is a lot of it. If you're having company over, this is a hearty meal to serve, plus it feeds 16. It's easy to prepare and you can make it ahead of time; just reheat in the oven at 375.
