My aunt introduced me to this delicious dish. In the past few years I've made changes and come up with what my family feels is the best Brazilian dish around! A great chili alternative and it freezes well.

This picadillo is a little too spicy for my taste. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my picadillo came out a little dry. I think I might have overcooked the beef. Other than that, the flavors were great.
