I have to tell you that I tried this, with a couple of changes: a large can of tomato sauce, since we couldn't find 14 oz, and a package of mushrooms (chopped)... phenomenal. It has a sweetness to it that I assume comes from the bbq sauce and pepper, and it's just so, so good. We made it in a pot on the stove, and had no problems. Thank you!

(oh, and I was curious - is this recipe original to you, or from another source? I want to give appropriate credit on my recipe card.)
