      This sounds amazing! I think I'm going to make this tonight ... adding the chicken like you did and maybe some peanuts and water chestnuts ... This looks like a nice "base" to add other things to. YUM!

      Michelle, the ketchup did turn me off when I read the ingredient list, but I went ahead and made it anyway and am so glad that I did! It is in no way bad!

      Barbara, Grumpy ate leftover Dill Pickle Meatloaf (which I never got a photo of so no blog about that yet!). I'm sure if there was nothing else in the house he would have at least tried it. As it was, he didn't get any and won't get any either! Not this time around anyway!
