Some of you will remember our dear Esther. She posted this recipe WAY back and I saved it in my recipe files. Yesterday I was pondering what to do with a package of ground chuck I had thawed and ran across it. So I made it and it was wonderful! Next time I will double the sauce as there wasn't enough to go over the rice to suit my taste. Chris loved them and went back for seconds. I brought leftovers for lunch today.
