I made it exactly as in the recipe and it came out amazing. I can tell that it's the best crockpot beef recipe I've tried. I will be making it many more times!

I really loved the recipe, but the canned tomato paste left a weird taste. I will try with a tube paste or omit. No doubt it's a great recipe!

I was surprised to find a recipe for kibbeh here... it's very similar to my recipe which is also very popular in Brazil. I finally found bulgur CAN be found here and the first thing I made was kibbeh. My recipe takes toasted pine nuts (about 1/2 cup) mixed in and you can place the whole mixture in a 9x13 baking pan (foil or glass) and bake it at 350F for 30/35 minutes. It's very popular to serve this way as well. I use to make a little vinaigrette to serve on the side: diced tomatoes, cucumbers, chopped parsley, some hot pepper drops and chopped parsley. My husband fell in love with it and the next time we'll make patties and grill the kibbeh. Thanks for posting, I'm sure everybody will enjoy this dish very much.

I was disappointed with this recipe. I don't know if it was the coconut cream that added to a mix made it overly sweet. I even cut in half the sugar of the frosting, but it didn't help much. I learned to be careful with recipes using cake mix, because the mix is already too sweet for my taste. Any extra suggar added will be already too much.
