Hamburger Helper, 'Paleo' Style

[Sass Muffin]

Here is another one of those 'found on the net' recipes that stopped me in my tracks.
Simple and sounds oh so delicious to me.

Could be tasty... I am relatively ignorant of coconut milk cooking, but should jump
in and experiment with something easy, huh?

Krogers carries ground lamb in 1 pound packages. Every time I see some marked
down half price, I grab a couple... $3.79 a pound ain't bad. They are conveniently
vacuum packed and keep quite well. I think I know tomorrow's dinner!

Yay!
Please do make it Kimchee, I'd like to see the results.
You know.. I've got so many recipes in the waiting that I don't know which to try next.
That said, the last time I used coconut milk was in a chicken korma, and that's been years ago.

Lamb around here is a rare thing.
The local grocery stores don't carry it.
I know Meijer and Walmart do (in the next biggest town close to me)- but I think it's chops and leg of only.

Made this tonight for dinner. Didn't find any "Thai Curry Powder", so I used red curry
paste, about double the called for amount.
It was not bad, but was a bit... not bland, but subdued. My wife thinks a little
allspice in the meat while browning would be good... we will try it again.
I also thought it was improved with a good shot of Sriracha hot sauce, so
next time I will throw in 1 dried pepper.

Definitely tasty as is, I think it would make a great cottage/shepherd's pie too.
