Probably would have been ok (though I feel like it needs some sort of sauce or dressing), but the recipe really needs to be re-written. I had read in the steps that I will need to add in spice, but I always find it easier to check the ingredients list to look up the amount. And let me tell you... 1/2 a jar is not the same as 1-2tsp of a spice mix that's loaded with chilli! Even though I love spicy foods, I spent days diluting the mince with white rice to no avail.
