Of course you can!

If you add meat, it would be best to brown it first before adding so that you can be sure it’s thoroughly cooked . Were you thinking of ground meat or sausage? Browning first will also get rid of the grease that would change the consistency of the dish.

thank you very much.

sounds delicious

enjoy Family

Why wouldn't you be able to add meat such as cooked hamburger?
