I served this with tortillas as another reviewer recommended. Even loaded with tomato, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream the overwhelming flavor of green olive could not be covered up enough to make this edible. My not very picky husband quit eating it after just a few bites. I think you need to be a green olive lover to enjoy this dish, and I guess we don't fit that mold. Sadly, the leftovers went into the trash. Supper ended up being Mexican Rice II and chips. I do recommend Mexican Rice II. Restaurant quality! N * R

This N*R choice was pretty good. The only change I made was to omit the garlic salt and double the garlic powder like someone else suggested. It was still very salty! We ate it over rice which helped a little with the saltiness. We also thought it was begging for some heat...but don't know how "authentic" Cuban that would make it. I think this would be better with the omission of the garlic salt, half the olive brine to make it less salty. I made the whole recipe and it makes ALOT so would be a very good recipe for a potluck or to freeze for quick meals. N*R

This was pretty good. I made tacos out of it and everyone enjoyed, even my 5 year old. N*R.

I'm just getting up from the dinner table after eating this. It is really, really good and a different way to use ground beef (which is always a challange for me) I think this could be salty for some folks and I omited the garlic salt and doubled the garlic powder. I had to make my own adobo seasoning and I think next time I would omit the salt out of that. The olive brine gives this plenty of salty flavor. After putting the tomatoe sauce in and looking at the meat mixture I decided to give up on putting it in a tortilla and making rice instead. My daughter thought it was tasty and she is the picky one. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Oh, one more thing I halved the recipe for 1lb of ground beef but noticed that the recipe did not make an exception for the amount of tomatoe sauce. Using a 28oz can of tomatoe sauce with 1lb of ground beef would have made soup. N*R

N*R. This was ok, a little salty, but a good fast dish with lots of flavor.

Oh my gosh! We loved this! I cooked it down a little more so we could have it on flour tortillas, basically made tacos out of it. I will be making this again and again! N*R
