Really loved this. Served with cornbread. Subbed canned kidney beans for the chuck and didn’t need Tabasco or red pepper flakes. Chili powder gave it enough umph for us. Loved the addition of the honey. Will make again.
Five and a half pounds of meat and only 4-6 servings?! More like enough for 10-12.
