This was really good! The sauce was very light and enjoyable. I used the ground chicken in the meatballs and they were fantastic! The chicken made such nice meatballs. They were very filling and much better than beef meatballs! The only change I made was adding more seasoning to the sauce. A+!

This gets 5 stars for presentation (it was pretty) and 3.5 or 4 for flavor. The blackening seasoning was nice, but very similar to the Creole Seasoning Blend on this site. The Creole Seasoning is just a tad different, but I prefer that mixture. The mango salsa was alright, but it didn't blow me away. My husband seemed to enjoy it, though. I might make it again for him if he makes the request. I followed the recipe as written, except I skipped the cilantro because I don't like cilantro.

I really enjoyed this! I made a few modifications so that's why it got 4 stars. I used half a pound ground turkey and half a pound ground pork instead of beef. I cooked the meat in onions and garlic instead of just onions. I also seasoned the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then added a few splashes of Worcestershire. I double the ketchup. I think this was really necessary to give the meat some flavor. I used the "Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes" recipe for the potato topping. We use that recipe a lot (with red and Idaho potatoes) and it made the topping extra tasty! I also used cut up baby carrots, and some canned corn and green beans (drained) for the veggies. This recipe was a really great starting off point, so thanks for sharing! It really tasted better the second day!
