This is fast and easy to put together. The only problem I had was the sugar (personal preference). I hestitated to add it...but did. And sorry that I did. So to counter balance the sweet...I used "recipe #216380". And it was perfect. I also added 2 cloves of garlic. DH really enjoyed the sweety hot. Will definately be making again. Thank you for sharing.
