My aunt introduced me to this delicious dish. In the past few years I've made changes and come up with what my family feels is the best Brazilian dish around! A great chili alternative and it freezes well.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my picadillo turned out really bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
