We all LOVED this dish! With the exception of adding additional salt pepper and garlic powder (which I do on almost all recipes) I followed to a "T". My 8 year old ate 2 huge bowls and I'm too embarrassed to say how much my husband ate. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely be making this one again.
Let me preface my review by stating I've never heard of this dish before so I have no basis for comparison as far as "authentic" goes. I stumbled across it and thought it looked like an interesting ground beef recipe & decided to give it a try! As I am the first reviewer I really tried to not alter it. However I detest celery so I did leave that out. I also was forced to use dried as opposed to fresh parsley. Everything else was the same (ok ok I couldn't resist adding more garlic as usual). It's pretty good! It was a little bland for my tastes but that could have been partially due to no celery and the dried parsley. I also used a sweeter red wine and I'm not sure how a merlot or cab would affect the flavor. I added some sea salt when I served it and that was a nice touch. Thanks Woman Whisking for a different way to use ground beef!
This is extremely Good! I made it as written except I added salt and pepper.I served it with white rice and yellow rice.I liked the yellow rice better.This dish has a very South American flavor to it.My 17 year old also loved it. She said it tasted like pepper steak.This recipe makes 8 generous servings if you use 2 cups of rice.
Was awesome! Made plain ol boring ol ground beef into a fancy dinner. The flavors were so deep it tasted like something I would be ordering not making. I loved this dish. Oh and ps leftovers were just as good.
I really liked this. it was different than what I imagined it would be but in a good way. I made these changes: cut recipe in half (4 servings) 2tbsp dry parsley in place of 1/2c fresh whole can of diced tomato rather than half added some cinnamon no green pepper beef stock in place of red wine and I cooked the rice with it all after it was done simmering... to do this I added 3/4c rice and remaining 1.25c beef broth stirred it together then cooked until rice was done. I like to mix rice in with things like this because it lets it soak up the flavors.
whole family enjoyed this dish. I topped it with parm.
This was amazing! I cut it in half used the whole can of tomatoes and left out the celery. Served over yellow rice. Hubby couldn't get enough! Try it with a few splashes of hot sauce yum!
Very good but very bland. I added salt black peeper and two teaspoons of sugar. I served it over whit rice and thought of adding a can of tomato soup and serving it over elbow noodles. That might be a nice alteration.
This is an all time family favorite!! It's delicious and easy! I add yellow rice to the pot about 25 min before I'm ready to eat and let it absorb the liquid. This is a great recipe!!
This recipe was all right and we enjoyed it but it wasn't anything particularly special or interesting. I did end up adding salt and pepper which helped but I don't think I'll be coming back to it any time soon. I used the leftovers to make Moussaka.
