I liked this recipe a lot, very easy, but I think it's a little too sweet. Next time I will add more chili powder and less sugar. I think that will do the trick! I served it over rice with a side of broccoli.

THIS IS AMAZING! I did add about 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper (opposed to the 1/8 tsp the recipe calls for) because my boyfriend loves his food with a kick and it turned out perfect! Just the right amount of kick to couter with the sweet. I also made these as the main dish served over brown rice and steamed green beans on the side. DELISH! I will be making this again and soon!
