“This recipe as my base was awesome. I tweaked it some. I used Lawry's season salt, paprika, a pinch of onion salt, I am sure I added 2x more cumin than called for in the recipe, two cloves of garlic, a 1/2 tbspn of dried cinnamon, a 1/2 tbspn of cayenne pepper” — a cook, 5★
“Good starting point to know which spices I needed to add. However, I used only 2 lbs ground beef (needed to do something with it ASAP!) and ended up doubling the amount of spices in the recipe as I cooked it. I browned the onion slightly before adding the spic” — a cook, 3★
