Spaghetti squash Would this go well with spaghetti squash instead of mashed potatoes?
You could totally make this with spaghetti squash instead!
freeze do you think this can be frozen with sauce and then rewarmed ?
yes
chicken? Would this taste good with chicken cutlets instead of meat?
I would try it with dark meat cutlets.
If you make it with chicken, then ask the store to make you chicken strips, so it should not be thick
Scrumptious we all enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you
I just made this… my meat was not soft! I am so disappointed. What went wrong? How can I fix this for next time?
Hi MIriam! Did you let the meat fully marinate? Also, pepper steak is not a super soft meat but the goal is not to cook it too longer. Over cooking it is what can make it chewy!

Awesome! I omitted the tomato sauce and it was absolutely delicious!
