I varied a couple of things when making this:

I cooked the onion with the beef and I didn't add olives as I didn't have any. I also used just regular old onions.

This was a definate hit with Papa Bear. I will say though, we were not near as impressed with it the next day as heated up leftovers. I guess that means we will have to eat it all the first time!
