I loved this recipe for a couple of reasons, it was simple and combined ingredients and it was also great for my diabetic grandmother. I altered the recipe slightly by chopping everything, adding the sauce and placing it in a crockpot for the day. It eliminated using the top of the stove while preparing for Thanksgiving dinner.
