I think I'd better taste before you alllll try. I'll report tomorrow.........

FYI:  One of the ingrediences is ( Beefy Onion Lipton Soup) I had never seen that before. Sure enough there it was in the supermarket. It has a couple yummy looking recipes on the back I'm going to try.
All you hard working friends out there....it time to sit down, tune out the kids and in some cases the boss, put your feet up and enjoy a glass of wine.......one glass at a time.....
