This recipe did not work at all. The meat had such a weird, bad taste we had to throw the whole thing away. The meat is marinating in just the diced tomatoes and the frozen onions, which gave it a really gross taste. I would never cook this again.

This was delicious, my whole family loved it. I served it with mashed potatoes but next time we will have it with rice. The gravy is so flavorful and the lemon give a special little zip.
