WOW! Had these for tea, finished and had to rush to computer to tell everyone how deeelish these are. My whole family loved them. I added my own sauce which is a tin of tomatoes, 1 tsp sweetener, 2 beef stock cubes, 200 ml water and you can add some sun dried tomatoes if you wish. Stick it all in a pan, heat through and away you go!!

They were good, but it seems like an awful lot of cayenne. I made this with 1/2 lb beef, 1 egg, and 1 tsp. cayenne and it was much too hot. Pehaps chili powder instead?

Nice portable snack or part of a meal. Way too much cayenne for our tastes though...used a lot less. I agree with reeneejune and used chili powder and added some cumin and a little cayenne.

I made these the other night for dinner and I thought they were AMAZING! I don't eat much red meat so I subsituted the beef for ground turkey. I served them with Pineapple-Peach salsa - very nice! Totally something I would make again!

Reduced fat cheese is higher in carbs than regular cheese which is 1 gram of carbs per oz. When you put the meat around the cheese, and they cool, they taste like a cold blob of fat. Grating the cheese into the meat would make the meat more moist, since you are not using bread crumbs.

I made these and they where delicious! Came out a lot messier than I expected but I am also an amateur cook.
