I swapped out the beef broth with 32oz of mushroom broth, swapped the ground beef for 1 cup of quinoa and another cup of vegetable broth to make this a VEGETARIAN dish. and my kids all had seconds. it was a big hit.
Great idea! Thank you for sharing! I will give it a try myself. That would be a good new recipe to add to this site.
Do you think it would work to replace the ground beef with ground turkey meat?
Yes, definitely
