Hummus Bil Lahme (Hummus with Ground Beef)

(84)
"Hummus is often thought of as a vegetarian dish, which is typically true, this recipe however, is for all my carnivore friends out there. Because what's the only thing better than regular hummus? It's definitely hummus with delicious authentic toppings (whether vegetarian or not)."
