This is very good, although I did make a few substitutions. Instead of water I used a couple cans of beef consume and the rest beef boullion. I used a can of regular diced tomatoes as it's what I had, which probably doesn't make much of a difference. I used tenderized round steak prepared according to the recipe. For the veggies I used only fresh chopped carrots, celery, green beans and potato. Can't really say how much, just till it looked hearty. I used a little thyme, and towards the end sprinkled a bit of beef boullion granules in to add a little more flavor. The consistency is more like stew. And it is hearty. It's a keeper. Thanks!

Death by Chocolate!!!! I made this cake and finished it off with "Chocolate Ganache" by ingridevogel, also on this site. I did cut the oil to 1/2 cup, it seemed like so much! And made up the liquid with the warm water. I also used mini chocolate chips. This was the most chocolate of chocolate that I have ever tasted! A small slice goes a long way!

OMG! Fantastic recipe! I used 2% milk in place of cream to cut the calories, and it turned out great. Using half chicken broth helped it to stay rich tasting without having to use the cream. Thanks for the recipe.
