cook's notes
Try using stewed tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes, it gives it more of a flavor.

This is one recipe I love to make especially since my 22 month old son absolutely loves it!!! I followed this recipe to a tee for a while than I started trying with ground beef cooked with garlic powder and it tastes soo much better

I served this to guests with chicken patties, green beans and salad. They seemed to greatly enjoy it. Nel

Overall this was a good recipe. I am new to cooking and it was really easy to follow. I don't like tomatoes so I cut out the tomatoes. Also, I would cut the amount of flour that this recipe requires. It was really thick. I put way more milk in than this recipe called for and will put even more in next time. It needs a little tweaking to your personal taste but it was really good!! =) Thanks!
: By omitting the tomatoes you reduced some of the liquid in the recipe. So, yes, the amount of flour would be too much since the liquid was less.
