[Magdalen] Dinner; was Flour query.

Oh, I don't mind the pepper.  It was just the amount of salt in an 
unknown quantity of ingredients.  Bon appetit!

The main thing to remember is that 1 tbsp salt in a whopping 3 lbs of 97% lean ground beef doesn't really go all that far.  What pushed it to just this side of too salty was the quart of beef stock along with it.  Next time I'll go to 3/4 tbsp both salt and pepper, and it'll be perfecter.  (I'd bet you a Canadian dollar leftover will be even milder spice-wise...)
