I used some ingredient substitutions, which may have contributed to the outcome. I used bouillon for the stock, and AP flour instead of the whole meal. I used mozzarella for the grated cheese in the topping, and a deer/wild game spice blend. Again, this may have contributed to our not liking the recipe overall. The topping did not bubble into the mixture and cook as I thought it would. When I pulled it out of the oven, I had a lot of raw flour coating the top. The topping was very gooey underneath that. It was not difficult to prepare, especially with a food processor. The longest step was mincing the meat (I used eye of round). I don't know how it would have turned out using different spices and whole meal flour, but I don't think we'll be trying it again.
