This was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's a great way to use up leftover lamb or beef.

I made this last night and it was a hit with my family! Everyone loved it. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to the ground beef mixture.
