← Replies in Italian Ground Beef Casserole with Biscuit Topping Recipe

This is everything I dislike about British food and it's not even a British recipe. At every step of this recipe I thought to myself, "surely I should trust this process. This will likely turn out favorable. Surely it has 91% positive reviews for a reason." And at every step I trusted. As I put "optional" salt and pepper into the pan, I trusted that the payoff would be worth it. I'll save you the trouble, it was not. It was foul, a waste of my time, and I could not stomach a full bite without retching. My husband, who I call a garbage disposal for the slop he is willing to tolerate, walked into the kitchen to watch me eat because he knew what he was about to witness. At this point I truly can't recall a single ingredient that would make this creation italian-adjacent. I drank a glass of milk as a pallet cleanser and am now convinced my taste buds are broken. But no, husband finished his plate and said this was easily the worst recipe I have ever made and to never make it again. Wasn't planning on it. Save this one for the Brits and possibly the Minnesotans. Instead, just take those Pillsbury biscuits and make Unsloppy Joes with them. That's what this recipe should have been. Thank you.

Hmmm. Not sure why all the drama about a recipe.

@mickie It's not drama; it was a tongue in cheek warning meant to be taken half-heartedly. I can see how you thought it may be scathing based on the verbiage, but in truth it was just a bad recipe that would need serious doctoring to make edible, so I thought a satirical review would be fitting. Just wanted people to have a laugh at the food fail here, no need to block me after replying lol On a real note though: to anyone reading this, if you plan to do this recipe, use canned veg instead, a smaller pan than it calls for, and about 3 times the amount of seasoning it calls for, possibly different seasoning altogether because just oregano, salt, and pepper will not get you an even slightly italian flavor. I think this recipe could've been a lot better if it went full-send on the direction it's heading toward, almost like an alt pot pie or a deconstructed sloppy joe.

You're not blocked. You're opinion. Just thought the review was a bit much.
