My family liked this. I would make again and serve over rice. I doubled the meat so I didn't need to thicken the sauce as there was just enough to keep it all moist.

We LOVE this! It's one of the few ways I can get my picky toddler to eat green beans and my husband says this is his favorite meal. I slightly modified this by adding 1 pd. beef but I left everything else alone and it still tastes great.

I thought this was just okay, so I'll give it a 3-star rating. Frankly, I was a little disappointed - the ingredient list made it sound interesting and a bit unusual, but it actually turned out to be slightly weird, for lack of a better word. I made it exactly as written, using 93% lean ground beef, and 1.5 teaspoons, instead of 1.5 tablespoons, of ground ginger (I happened to see the review purportedly from the recipe submitter, which mentioned this mistake). Maybe the taste was due to the dried spices burning a little? Not that I know they did, but the mixture in step 1 was not very wet. I probably won't try this again, sorry.

This was a super easy, super fast DELICIOUS dinner. My hubby ate it up and I loved the sweet tangy sauce. It would also be good using chunks of chicken rather than the beef. I served it with rice and added mushrooms.

I made this last night and I can't put my finger on it, but the taste was awful, my husband thought the same thing, but my 3 year old gobbled it down! Good thing I had a back up plan like I usually do when I try things out for the first time!

After reading the review where the reviewer tried turkey in this recipe, I was a little leery about trying it since that's all I had, along with canned green beans. So I decided when it came time to add the soy sauce and honey, I added the soy first and let the turkey cook in that for a couple of minutes then added the honey, etc., and it seems to have worked. :9 Might be a little salty for some folks, tho. I did forget the flour and water step, but I like it just the same. I think I'll make some noodles to go under it next time, too.

I really liked this recipe- it gives me something to do with ground beef other than hamburgers and meatballs! It was better before I added the flour & water thickener, when the meat was crumbly, so next time I will leave that off. Also, my husband and I liked the level of spices, but the kids said it was too spicy. (They complained, but they ate it!) If you have sensitive palates in your family, cut down on the spices.

Given the fact that this is a healthy dish, it was ok. Beyond that, nothing to get too excited about.

This wa a good dinner to serve up when I was in a rush. I served it with oriental noodles and it filled a gap, good for those nights when you need something filling and fast.
