  3. Looks great, I'm sure it tastes even better. I just hate when I see meat being cooked separately from onions and garlic. Lock all the flavors in together.

  4. I got my start at 15 in an old mom and pop Greek restaurant. I worked there until I was 20 and the pastitsio was my favorite item on the menu. So good and I haven't had it since 2010. I'd love to make this sometime this week

  6. I'm going to try it with our deer meat! The cinnamon sounds like a great flavor profile. We have a couple freezers full that need eating before hunting season comes again.
