*Personal Notes: This recipe is VERY VERY spicy when cooked according to recipe. We cut down the tobasco by a lot. We just add a few splashes to taste. We also use the canned jalepenos and add those to taste as well. We also sometimes add pineapple chunks as well!!!!
*This is Jason's specialty recipe! He cooks it on the grill and we keep it warm in the crock pot at get-togethers
