So tasty, I grub on the leftovers the next day, and the next! I've done a couple different ground meats (beef, chicken, pork in this and it works great with any of them. This episode was on TV again the other day and I made sure to DVR it to hype me up to make it again!

These lettuce cups were delicious! I substituted tofu for chicken but otherwise made then exactly per the recipe. Yum!!! A definite keeper and so easy to make.

How odd. I just finished watching this show again, and came online to see if I Had already saved the recipe. I had. I decided to read the new comments and I read one from a Chef in Somers, CT dated April 13, 2010. The wording was mine! I knew I had written that exact comment but I gave the recipe a higher rating and had paragraph breaks. You will find mine dated on Feburary 15, 2010, on the next page. Please cooks, write your own reviews. Plagerizing someone elses does not give anyone any new ideas or changes you may have made.
