This recipe has been in my family for my entire life. It is easy to make, easy to take, and most importantly, easy to double, triple, etc. Does well in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. My grandma always made a huge batch of this every time a family member moved so we would have food to feed the people helping us. You can have any combination of ground meat for this recipe. We have used venison, turkey, pork, and beef. I don't always add additional onions if I am cooking a double batch.
