This was really good!! My husband likes his spicy food a little sweet, so I added 1/3 cup honey - and a little extra broth to the sauce. We like to cook in double batches so we can freeze meals for later - but everyone wanted seconds so it was hard to reserve enough for another meal, lol. I think I might add onions next time, too - but that's just b/c we're really into onions and garlic here.
