5 stars, delicious, economical/feeds a crowd, addicting and very easy to make! Tastes like sweet baked beans w/beef. Looks & tastes rich, very nicely thick. A little on the sweet side for hubby's taste, though, so next time will cut sugar to 1/4 cup, otherwise perfect! Bacon on top is perfect, but also good with sour cream & some cheddar.
