I used two pounds of buffalo meat since the grocer didn't carry lamb and I'm a carnivore. More meat equals more spices needed. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for posting! -
This was easy to put together and tasty. I will make again, but will add more meat. -
Excellent dish! Apart from using lean ground beef, I followed the recipe to the letter. Very good comfort food. Thanks for posting it. Papa_D

I like to cook. I also like to breathe, look at myself in the mirror, and eat small vegetables. I work as a parsnip in my spare time and covet the cool side of the pillow.
