My nose is SO STOPPED UP that I can't taste a darn thing. Which is very disappointing to a foodie like me :( Blah. So I ate this meal (and the next one I'm going to post), but I can't give you an accurate grade on how good it was! I will say that what I could taste was a little 'boozy'. My friend Sam made the same recipe and she submitted a similar comment, so I'm going to roll with that. If you are not into wine flavors, go for 1c beef broth and 1/2 cup red wine (I used merlot).
But you can't beat the ease of this dish! It ended up only serving 4 servings (and a little one for the baby), which was fine. I will definitely make it again when my sense of smell/taste has recovered!

I will definately make it again also. It was so easy you can't go wrong with it. I will go the broth/wine combo route next time though. It was just a little over powering. But a definate keeper!
