What a hearty meal!! This has that true cheeseburger taste with ketchup and mustard added along with the french fry sticks. (they are addicting.) I served a handful in soup and some on the side! Great for dipping. Will be serving Superbowl Sunday instead of chili! Don't think My football fans will mind!
