Notes
This recipe is delicious as is. It easily adapts to other diets. To make it vegan, just omit the meat and double the beans. To make it paleo, just omit the beans and add one cup more of veggies and 1/2 pound of turkey. You can also make it with apples too. I included a great video on both above. Bon Appetite!
