This was terrible! There is no sauce or flavor whatsoever. I thought it sounded good from reading the recipe but after I started putting he ingredients together I could tell it wasn't going to be very good. Hamburger, potatoes, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cumin, pretty bland without a sauce to go with it. I ended up adding some taco sauce to save it, it made it edible but not by much. I won't be making this again...

This is a great recipe! Something different to do with ground beef! I put the meat in the food processor after it cooked to make it tiny and after added the onion, garlic, etc.. It was served with white rice. So good! The kids loved it. If you enjoy spicy then you should throw in a pepper or Tabasco or Sriracha. This is the perfect empanada or pastelito filling also! Thanks!
