Lindsey and I prepared this meal for the family on a cold December night. It was an ideal choice. Although most family members enjoyed the meal, one person thought it tasted rather bland. I will prepare this meal again on another winter night.  Perhaps, I will add more gravy. Also, I had substituted the lamb for ground beef. Next time, I will try the lamb and see if that will enhance the flavor.

I found this recipe on one of my mother's handwritten recipe cards that she kept in her kitchen in Lloyd Harbor, New York.
