“This is a solid recipe. That being said, I'm totally going to be that guy who made something very different from what the recipe says to do... I made my own unseasoned marinara to serve as the base. Dice a tomato or two, an onion and some garlic. Mix in tomat” — a cook, 5★

“I have and it was good, I had to replace with sugar as I didn't have any honey or brown sugar, made it a bit sweet, we are vegetarians so I used TVP in place of meat, all ingredients in the recipe are all great for the flavoring of TVP, I used catsup in place ” — a cook, 4★
