  1. I made this for a potluck at work. I used venison instead of hamburger meat and I could not find the pasta that you used so I used spiral pasta. It was a hit! Several people asked for the recipe. I cooked it on the stove before work and then let it simmer in the crockpot until lunch time in my classroom.

  2. We are having this for dinner tonight, but I am going to use ground turkey instead. Perfect weather for a good hearty soup!
