I like the idea of having ground beef in a stir fry, as it's a use for hamburger that I hadn't seen before. And it worked quite well. However, I found this recipe to be quite bland as written. I added Chinese 5 Spice, Hoisin Sauce, Black Bean and Garlic sauce, and spicy Sriracha sauce which jazzed it up somewhat. I served it over brown rice which stood up well to the texture of the beef and the peppers. I will probably make it again since my kids (ages 6 & 3) ate it and it was very easy to put together.

A very tasty recipe and a great way to use up the huge amount of rhubarb I had! I like that it's not too sweet and relatively healthy with the limited fat and when substituting WW pastry flour. I was too short on prep. time to make it into muffins, so I made a triple batch and made it into 2 generous loaves (baking time about 60-75 minutes for the loaves). A few modifications to the single recipe that tasted great: *Took other reviewers' advice and reduced nutmeg by half *Used all whole wheat pastry flour *Increased to 1 1/2 c rhubarb *Added 1/4 tsp cinnamon to batter. Kept streusel cinnamon as printed in recipe. *Reduced brown sugar in streusel to 2 1/2 Tbsp *I used all canola oil in the muffin/bread part and then butter just for the streusel. This is a keeper!

This dish was tasty, but a bit on the bland side for my taste. However, I will definitely make it again. It was an easy weeknight meal that my kids (3 & 6) liked. My rating reflects the ease of the preparation, good from a nutritional standpoint, and that it was family friendly. A few modifications: I added an extra carrot as well as about 4 large mushrooms, finely chopped. Both added extra nutrition and tasted good. I also increased the potatoes to 5 fist-sized potatoes, which worked well. I increased wine to 1/2 cup and substituted 3 Tbsp milk plus 2 oz neufchatel (reduced fat cream cheese) for the 1/2 and 1/2 since it's what I had on hand and it worked great. Served it with green beans. Would also be good with green salad. Nice and easy!
