This is a wonderful recipe. My family loved it. One must always remember that you must taste while your cooking (Chef Ramsey from H***'* Kitchen states this all the time.) I have not used cinnamin nor cloves very much in cooking, therefore, adding to YOUR taste as you go with these will satisfy your palate. I didn't use the peppers because I didn't have any. Since it's referred to and compared with a "Sheperd's Pie" I added some mixed vegetables. Also, the crushed red peppers get hotter as they bake in the mixture in the oven and get hotter, so be careful. I also substituted beef boullon with campbell's golden mushroom soup and a can of french onion soup so that it wouldn't be dry as others stated. I did use a half of package of onion soup mix in the hamburger mixture for extra flavoring. What a different flavor; I'm tired of eating the same old things all the time. Thanks for sharing this "Serbian" recipe! Oh yeah, my 11 year old son said it smelled very good and was it ready. He sat down and said "I smell cinnamon" and my husband said, "No" and I said "Yes". This was a wonderful experiment. Thanks again! It's already in my recipe box!
