this is a great recipe!! cooking this was so much fun! I enjoyed every second, and it tasted even better than I thought it would!!
Yet you only gave it 3 stars?
I’ve made this quite a few times and it’s one of my favorite recipes to do in a cast iron skillet. Fun to.make and always turns out great. I do double the sauce. Great recipe!
Add this dish. Really easy. Followed instructions for the most part. I smoked the garlic halve. Sautéed the onions with the halves after smoking. When asked to combine all ingredients I smashed the garlic. This dish tasted out of this world. I’ll give it 5 stars
