I came across this recipe when looking for something "special" to do with hamburger meat. These were very good, although I made a few changes. I felt that there was not enough flour for the crepes, so I used 1 cup, which seemed better, but still a little thin (especially to hold up to a substantial filling-they did, though!). Your recipe didn't say whether or not to simmer the sauce, for thickening, so I did...I think it would have been too thin, otherwise. My son and I like spicy, but I might cut down on the cayenne, in the sauce, next time. This was great, but as my son said, when I asked him why it didn't deserve 5 stars, "A recipe made with hamburger meat can really only rate 4 stars, right?"
