I was looking for a different recipe than what I have been making for years and fell in love with the recipe. This is now the only recipe I use, the only change I made was using mince beef instead of minced lamb. - 20 Jan 2012
Used more garlic but otherwise = PERFECT - 04 Nov 2016
I made this for my husband and we both loved it! I would recommend cooking the vegetable seperately since the rutubaga needs more time to cook and the other vegetables need less. I didn't pre-cook the peas at all and just added the frozen peas directly to the meat along with the other vegetables. I also would use a 15 oz. can of tomato sauce rather than 8 oz. because it didn't seem saucy enough (I added some left over pasta sauce we had in the fridge and it worked great). For the potatoes I used a whole package of the frozen Ore Ida steam and mash potatoes and they worked great Yummy! - 18 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
