After making this I found it to be a great base recipe for baked ziti. However I noticed that at no time are spices added, nor do you drain the ground beef. Next time I will finely chop 2 cloves of garlic and add in with the onion and beef to cook, and toss in at least 2-4 Tbls of Italian seasoning. All so it may be easier after frying the beef to place in a wide pot to simmer with the sauce. Even a large frying pan gets a little crowded with this one.

GREAT base recipe!!! It's everything it promises to be. However I found it a little bland and think I may play around with the seasoning. All so the 4 onions it calls for must be normal cooking onions and not large. I barely (actually didn't) had enough to do two large onions. Double it.

Please note: If you take nothing else from this review then take this. The filling can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. Then you can just pop a few on the grill anytime you gill out. All so the recipe does not say whether to grill direct or indirect. Direct worked like a charm. Now on to my thoughts of the recipe. Major hit at my last tailgate party. I made them the night before, then threw them on one of the grills while other stuff cooked. They finished in plenty of time to serve as appetizers. Once word got out how good they were I had people for several other tailgates coming by for a few and ran out WAY early.
