This was good...I didn't discard the cooking liquid(I assume it says to discard because it is high calorie?) used it on mashed potatoes and a little on the meat. It had a bit of spice to it but I will probably make it a tad spicer next time.

This was good but the meat was a little dry. I am going to add a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies next time.
