Great!
I loved this recipe! The only probably is that the sauce wasn't quite as thick as I would have liked so I might add less broth next time or add a little corn starch.

very good and easy
this was good, the only thing i added was shredded carrots just because i had some on hand. my husband stated that this would be good without the meat also (this is coming from a meat lover) very good with the right amount of heat.

This was very good. My son said he would actually rate it above a 5. I added a bit to much cayanne tho..my dash must be bigger than most. We doubled the recipe. Will make again.
