Recipe Tips & Tricks

Play around with the flavors. Italian seasoning + mozzarella or provolone cheese + sun-dried tomatoes. Oregano + Feta cheese with ground lamb.
Use any combination of ground meat that your family enjoys.
Serve with ketchup or barbecue sauce.
I used Red Boat Fish Sauce because Worcestershire sauce contains molasses.
