Notes
To lighten up this recipe, cook the ground beef until it is about 3/4 of the way done, rinse it in a colander to remove the fat, add it back to your pan, then add the spices and finish cooking.
Substitute your favorite breakfast sausage for the ground beef and spices.
During the holiday season, substitute store bought stuffing mix for the croutons, turkey sausage for the ground beef, and add some dried cranberries.
