    If you have cooked ground beef and cooked onion in the freezer, skip the steps for cooking those and just thaw and heat.

      This was really good. My mother liked it. I subbed homemade Picante sauce for the Rotel and a mix of sausage and TVP for the ground beef. The serving sizes listed are too large though. This makes 12 servings, even more if you have someone who doesn't like big servings or a child.

        I'm so glad you enjoyed it — the picante sauce sounds like a delicious substitute! I'll take a look at the servings for this. It's always a challenge to come up with the most appropriate number of servings for a recipe.
