This is one of my daughter's favorites and we love it too. I use Organic grass-fed ground beef, but if you are not very fond of beef you could use ground chicken or turkey instead. I am not a big fan of pork although it tastes awesome, you could use it if you are fine eating pork. Whatever you use, it is going to be tasty. All my recipes revolve around kids' taste buds, my ultimate goal while cooking is to get my daughter to eat happily :)
