“<p>Delicious - hubby LOVED it. My error was putting it in a 9x11 2-qt casserole dish. MY BAD! It took more rolls to cover the "sloppy" part, making it not so "sloppy." I know, I know ... the fact that I had to put more rolls on than the recipe called for SH” — a cook, 5★

“<p>Flavor was spot on. I should have simmered it a bit longer after I added the tomato sauce. Was a little thin. My presentation may not be as pretty but the flavors were there.</p>” — a cook, 5★
