This is one of my Picadillo dishes that I make often. My mother-in-law taught me to make this ground beef dish many years ago. It is delicious on top of white rice. A must is to serve the fried sweet plantains alongside the Picadillo. I also like to serve with black beans and a salad. Enjoy this traditional Cuban dish.
