This recipe was pretty nice. My modifications: I didn't have phyllo dough handy so I made up the meat mixture and decided to use some store-bought puff pastry. I made little pockets out of the puff pastry and stuffed them with about half the meat mixture.

These were delicious and turned out to be a smashing success in my household. Then, since I was out of puff pastry, I was at one of my local supermarkets and I found a can of Pillsbury flaky biscuits that were near expiration date on super-discount and I bought those. Their flaky nature allowed me to peel them apart approximately in half, insert a spoonful of the meat mixture, and then re-seal the biscuit with the meat in side and follow the normal baking directions for the biscuits. The result wasn't quite as good as with the puff pastry but still pretty nice for feeding several people off of a handful of spiced ground beef and a deep-discount can of biscuits.

Oh, also, I used nutmeg instead of allspice.
