I think it definetely has too much red pepper! Other than that we liked it. I cut the recipe in half except I used all the sausage. I used about 2 Tbsps. of brown sugar and with the BBQ sauce it was plenty sweet. I think it would work just as well with ground beef or turkey. Thanks for posting!

Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too.
