“Made the recipe as stated, using sweet potato. It was so easy and so good! My kids both had seconds, my 18th month old asked for a third bowl, and my husband finished by eating the rest out of the pot with a spoon. :) We will be adding this to our “family cook” — a cook, 5★

“We absolutely loved it! Going to replace my recipe for sloppy Joe's! Very flavorful. The carrots add a touch of veggie sweetness. Comes together easily. Definitely recommend.” — a cook, 5★
