Reviewed on Jan. 21, 2004 by SOPHIE10    I loved this recipe! I made some changes, though. I didn't have green peppers, so used crinkle cut sliced carrots, instead. Also, I didn't chop vegetables, but sliced onions into rings. I omitted the ketchup, and used a can of diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, instead, and mixed those with the instant onion soup, before pouring on top of vegetables and meat. Then, I poured about a cup of water over all. I served with mashed potatoes, using the sauce as a gravy. It was absolutely delicious! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]

I put the green peppers, onions, mushrooms, celery, tomatoe juice, ketchup, dry onion soup mix all in a blender and made a puree out of it. (If the kids would have seen all of those veggies, they would have instantly hated it!) The kids loved it. I even made sure that they really liked it before I told them what was in it. My 7 year old got THIRDS!! And that's very odd for him!! Thank you so much!!~ Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
