"I needed a vegetarian dish tonight and came up with this. It's quick, simple and, I think, tasty. Since DD enjoyed it I'm posting it here so I don't forget how I made it. You could easily substitute ground beef or ground chicken for the veggie ground round. The inspiration for this recipe was Gerry's recipe#1005. It's a simple matter to add more seasonings if you prefer. Thanks Gerry."
