This looks so good! I would love to try this, but our family doesn’t do anything with hot sauce. My husband and son’s stomachs can’t handle it, and I’m a weeny lol. I may have to try it minus the hot sauce. I think it would still taste wonderful. Pinning! Thanks for sharing on Crafty Cretaors!
XOXO,
