Frequently Asked Questions:
Which meat works best?
Opt for meat with minimal moisture. Dried, drained hamburger meat is an excellent choice due to its ability to absorb the liquid and amplify the flavors.
Can I enhance the flavor?
Absolutely! Add more spices as per your preference. For an added kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper. Herbs like basil, oregano, and clove can also enhance the taste.
What should be the sauce’s consistency?
We recommend a thicker sauce for a creamier texture, but the choice is yours. The thicker the sauce, the more robust and rich the flavor.
