Tried this recipe on the local Sunday Football Fan Club crowd at a local establishment. Seven quarts were gone in 35 minutes.

The only changes I made to the recipe were to:

(1) substitute 2 quarts of cold water with two quarts of vegetable broth and (2) added two teaspoons (rounded) of beef flavor granules. (All ingredients were increased proportionately to make seven quarts).

The recipe is terrific and I have been asked to make it time and time again.

Thanks for posting it.
