Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These really are good and best served with Mashed Potatoes, as Ikea does.
Even though the amounts of spices are minimal, they really make the flavour of the dish. If you don't have Allspice or Nutmeg, rather than buy containers of them at the store, buy a small amount at Bulk store.
You might be better off getting the ground Beef and Pork at the butcher.
