I followed the directions and used the exact ingredients called for in the recipe. the first night it was good but lacked enough liquid to be called soup. The second night the macaroni had swelled and absorbed all the rest of the liquid and the macaroni had disintegrated into large bits and was slimy. Since the macaroni was no longer in recognizable pieces it could not be separated out. If I make this again I would try it without the macaroni and I would add more liquid. The flavor was good.
I made it. No beef flavor. Really no flavor at all. Needs a lot of work to make it taste like anything
I loved it. First I added mushrooms. Thought it tasted kinda bland, so I added Teriyaki sauce and jalapenos, the result was perfect .
It was pretty thick, like a stew. We liked it. Family ate it up, so no soggy macaroni leftovers. Flavor was actually pretty good even with not very many spices. A warm hearty meal to come home to in the winter.
I've been making hamburger soup in my slow cooker for years, though without the barley. I keep the macaroni in a separate container and add it before I reheat and eat. I like the richness of one can of stewed tomatoes, and one of crushed.
Awesome! Easy to prepare and fabulous to est
very good. i used black-eye peas in lieu of lima beans. i would use less macaroni next time. Flavorful
Quick and Easy - although better for a weekend day rather than a week day since it only requires 6 hours!
It was great. I substituted mixed vegetables for the lima beans and didn't use celery but it was delicious. All my grand kids loved it.
