Tricked Them Again!

I successfully did it again.  I tricked the boys into eating something healthy for them.  Even though this recipe is not meatless, I am sure that you could add a can of beans in place of the meat and it would taste just as good.  BAP, SSP and my husband had their "sloppy" over burger and/or hot dog buns.  I just used chips and used it as a dip for me.  Perfecto!
