It was pretty good! It was on the sweet side-good with mashed potatoes! I’d make it again but spicy.
I think the proportions of spice are way off, as well. IF I every make this again I would reduce all spices!!
We watched this episode and were intrigued enough to try it. Proceed with caution! I think the proportions are off in this version of the recipe, and they left a few things out from the show (paprika and salt – how do you forget salt in ground beef? The version posted here is barely edible, way too much garlic, rosemary, sage, molasses and black pepper. Also, unless you like a little beef with your onion, I would cook down both the onion and garlic before adding it. There is potential here for a great recipe, but as posted it’s a dud.
Very tasty recipe.. I was very good!
Idrsrks you need to learn to cook! Why don’t just go away and forget about eating.
Disgusting. Could not get the taste out of our mouth-
threw the recipe away.

Very tasty. Even my boys liked it. It had a bit of a kick to it.
Might need to reduce the liquid a bit, it stayed formed but only just.
I also cooked it in a casserole pan so the liquid would not spill over.
