A wonderful recipe from Cooking Light. A delicious way to use ground beef. You can make it spicier by using more red curry paste.

This is a very delicious recipe! I like to make it a bit more spicy by adding red chili paste and sometimes substitute onions for the leeks. I make it a few times a month, as my boyfriend and I just love it update: added mushrooms along with a tablespoon of curry powder, and a tablespoon of minced ginger and it definitely gave it the flavor that I was looking for.

    This was OK... definitely needed salt and more spice. Tasted good but we found it to be a bit bland.

    Out.........STANDING! I halved the recipe, substituted soy sauce for fish sauce, and used tigerduck's Red Curry Paste Red Curry Paste (another winner) and after it came together smoothly, we were rewarded with one of the most delicious dishes we ever ate! Served over rice and alongside Skipper/Sy's Stuffed Grape Leaves with Egg-Lemon Sauce by Sy Stuffed Grape Leaves With Egg-Lemon Sauce by Sy. This is going into my Encore cookbook, the one I reserve for the Best of the Best. Thank you so much for posting, Redsie! UPDATE: I just made this for the third time. It's official: My favorite ground beef recipe EVER. What an amazing dish. I feel like I owe you my first born or something.!

    I also made this from my Cooking Light magazine. I substituted extra lean ground turkey and served it inside butter lettuce cups with a side of steamed rice. I can honestly say I didn't expect to like it much, but it was amazing. It is definitely becoming a staple in my house.
