I was skeptical of the cinnamon in this recipe, but followed the directions and voila! I loved it, and my friends loved it. I've since made it for pot-luck dinners and always get raves. I use a little more lemon over the meat mixture, and add more if I reheat. A bit more salt sometimes brings out the flavor, too. One of the other reviewers said they found this dish bitter so I was worried -- maybe their cinnamon was old? In any case, I didn't find it bitter at all.

I couldn't eat more than a few bites of this, and you should have seen the hilarious "gross" faces our 16 month old twins made while spitting this out. However, my husband thought it was ok and ate a full serving of it so I'll be generous and give it 3 stars. For me, it wasn't the cinnamon or the lemon. In fact, one of my favorite recipes on this site is a cinnamon lime chicken dish so I definitely like the combination of those flavors with meat. I don't know, maybe quantities were off. I didn't like this enough to experiment, but if these ingredients really appeal to you, go ahead and give it a try. Only thing I would definitely change is to use greek yogurt. Thanks anyway for the recipe.

A good staple recipe, not fabulous but easy, healthy, and yummy. If you love Stroganoff but want something a lot healthier but equally filling, this is a great substitute. I find myself making it about every two months or so simply because it is a healthy and easy recipe for ground beef. Edit 4/14/12: Just made this again last night and was reminded that 4 cups of yogurt is way too much--I think 2 would be sufficient, with the amount of garlic you plan to use halved, too.

Don't add too much lemon juice... I believe this is what caused this recipe to be a 2 in the end. It ended up being too sour. The temperature was strange too... adding the yogurt really cooled it off, and I prefer hot (heated) dishes. A few tips: - More chopped onion is a good thing! -- More cinnamon is a good thing! This was very easy to make, but I probably won't make it again.

I tried this recipe because it reminded me of a Turkish dish that I love....my husband really liked this - I used what I thought was a lot of garlic and it was still pretty bland for my taste. I might try this again with some adjustments - I can see it has some potential....thanks for posting this recipe.

I figured this would be a recipe I either hated or loved but I found it too different to really give a fair rating to. The cinnamon was odd as I am not used to it but was not too bad. I used some homeade Amish noodles that seemed to add to the dish. I also think I would use regular ground beef and not the lean kind. The meat mixture was a little dry. It was not my favorite but I suppose could become so if I try it a few more times. I also like a large amount of garlic in the yogurt but can see where others might not. It was also odd to mix the hot beef/noodle mixture with the yogurt mixture but again, I think it's just something I am not used to. All in all, i am glad I tried it and will try it again.

I was looking for a fast dinner to make (I live alone) and I thought the ingredients were odd, but reminded me of eastern recipes which I liked (and I love garlic). Not only can I do this in 15 min but the amounts are so easy to remember I only needed the recipe once. It reminds me of stroganoff but not as heavy with a zingy taste. I did not have the bitterness problems like stated in one review. I can't get enough of it!
