Submitted by ratherbeswimmin

"Got this recipe from my South Louisiana friend. We know it is not authentic cajun cuisine but we don't care. It is well-seasoned (and I don't mean hot), hearty, and delicious."

This worked out great for our boys, they don't enjoy spicy foods like my DH and I do. Enough tongue tingling and just sweet enough. I did add some sausage along with the ground beef and increased the honey by perhaps 1/2 Tbsp. Thank You NurseDi, great recipe as always-
