Something missing here, Member JudyKendall

This recipe sounded so promising and we were soooooo disappointed in it, I just had to tell you. There is something missing in this recipe, some spice or it needs much more spice than asked for. I added some hot sauce the second day we forced it down and it was better but still was lacking in flavor. After this bad experience we won't be trying any of your other recipes unless you can rectify this one. Please, please make this one tasty. Thanks. Judy
