This was a very simple recipe. I used milk only and I used one tablespoon of regular cocoa plus two and a half tablespoons of chocolate milk mix to the recipe. Along with the cinnamon and spices it turned out just great! Thanks for sharing.

I made this yesterday and was pleased with the results. I added minced garlic along with the onions and cooked them with the beef. I used more beef than the recipe called for. I also added Italian spices to the beef. I found the potatos to be extremely dry so I added more butter and milk. My husband loved the dish but overall I found it a bit bland. I will add peas and corn next time and probably some more pepper and salt and most likely other spices. This was overall a good recipe; very easy to make, inexpensive and makes well more than six servings!

Fantastic recipe! I made a few minor adjustments to the recipe such as, I used garbanzo beans instead of kidney beans. I also used minced beef in. I browned the meat in a bit of olive oil and when partially cooked I added the garlic, followed by the carrots and celery. One minute later I added the onions and let the mixture cook through. I used two veggie cubes and two chicken cubes instead of chicken stock and I also used one small can of tomoto puree. I had to add more water since I used meat and since I also added a bit more vegetables than were called for, but that's due to personal liking. I froze half and will definitely enjoy it in the future!
