May add water if too thick. Also may add more spices if you like it hotter. 1 heaping cup is a serving

VERY filling and DELICIOUS!!!

    I'm sorry. I'm selfish and I don't count carbs or sugar so I didn't think to check it. =( Let me see what I can do

    OK! Got it!

    One serving also has 18 g carbs and 4.1g sugar. I don't know if that's good or not? I don't watch my carbs or sugar.

    Sounds delicious :drinker: & TY for sharing. Gives me a tasty reason to take a quick bike ride to the grocery store; I have almost every ingredient, just missing the meat (will be using lean ground turkey vs beef; thinking it should be just as tasty) & beans.
