We made a few slight modifications to the recipe, including: added carrots and mushrooms, reduced the amount of cottage cheese slightly, and used a top pie crust. I hadn't planned to use a top pie crust, but there was entirely too much filling and that was the only way I could think to hold it all in! I am not sure why we didn't love it, but we just didn't. We'll definitely be looking for something similar to have in the future, but I think this just had too much of a "mush" taste/feeling. (Don't let this keep you from trying the recipe though! It just wasn't our "style".)
We made a few slight modifications, including: used more onion and bell pepper than the recipe called for, 1 pound of ground beef (Trader Joe's 96/4; too lazy to split it up and freeze extra), omitted the scallions (Ooops! This wasn't on purpose). To make things a little easier, I cooked the brown rice on Thursday morning before work. I put it in the fridge and reheated it in the microwave with a little water when I was ready to use it. I always try to do as much prep ahead of time as possible, and this definitely made things easier. This was so delicious! We had a lot leftover and I am looking forward to having it again soon! Try it!
