    I made this for my kids and we loved it. The only thing I will do different next time is put a little less sugar. I may even substitute hamburger meat for the ham next time just to mix it up. Overall it was a hit at my house

    We really enjoyed this recipe. I added a bit of paprika to it.

    I made this last night. The only change I made was to use bacon instead of ham. I'm sorry. The taste was overpowering and not good at all. Neither my husband nor I could even eat it.
