This is so good. It's now a family favorite. The first time I tried this I used turkey burger, not having any hamburger. My family loved it. About a month later they asked me to make it again. This time I really had to make substitutions because I was running out of all my staples. The substitutions ended up taking a really good food and taking it next level for my family.
I have a large family, so I have to double the recipe. I only had 1 pound of hamburger, so I used that and found some breakfast sausage for the other pound of meat needed. Any sausage works here. For the tomato soup, I only had 1 can. Upon searching for anything I could use to substitute the second can needed, I decided upon a can of nacho cheese. Oh my goodness! It's a bit spicy, but not a lot, and so cheesy! My family asks for this every week now.
What I've found is this recipe is great as is, but it's so easy to personalize it. Thank you!
