What - a beef recipe on my site?! Truth be told, several of these recipes were beef, and I switched them to turkey because I don't eat beef. But I realize some people actually do! So I decided to leave the name alone on this one. Notice it is still tagged for turkey in my labels. :)
Well... I thought this was pretty bland, but my husband loved it, and my normally picky son even ate it! I would recommend upping the spices if you like them. I thought it was a strange thing to be putting in the oven. Seemed like it could do just fine simmering on the stove. I followed the directions, though, and it came out fine.
And oh yeah, guess what? It's easy! ;)
