  • 1 tbsp adobo sauce

Notes

  • I used dark brown sugar but you can use light brown sugar if that is the only thing you have.
  • If you like the flavor feel free to use molasses starting a 1 Tablespoon.
  • This recipe was made in a Dutch oven but you can use whatever oven safe and stovetop safe vessel you choose just make sure it is large enough to hold all the ingredients
  • To be respectful of cost and calories, I used lean ground turkey (93% lean) but If ground beef is more your thing feel free to use that instead. Just make sure to drain the fat before adding the other ingredients.
