This recipe couldn't have been easier, however lacked flavor. We spiced it up with Hoisin and Jerk sauce - 1 tbsp each. In addition to that the sauce didn't really thicken up. I will use the basics of this recipe and experiment more.

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy.
I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
