    "For extra spice add a tsp of Garlic power and a tbsp of chilli flakes. Really spices it up with the chorizo so beware spicy haters!"

    "It’s literally a Bolognese with chorizo in it. I would say not to add oil when frying the chorizo as it accumulates it’s own when fried"

    "MY FAMILY LOVED THIS!!!! We don’t eat pork so I used smoked beef sausage instead. I added canned mushrooms and a little minced garlic. This is super delicious and easy to make for dinner 👍🏽👅😊"

    "Skip the ground beef and that amount in ground chorizo instead. Focuses on that one flavor intensified and one less ingredient to buy. Honestly I only changed that and it made it even more delicious!"

    "Created this food ensemble with a few minor changes: instead of Beef, I used Italian Sausage, added mushrooms and diced fire-roasted tomatoes to the sauce, and topped the dish off with mozzarella cheese. Mmmmm so delicious!!! For a “balanced” meal, add a small garden salad and a slice of garlic toast. You won’t be disappointed😋"
