D and I talked about making it and decided ok. Except we forgot to prep it/talk about it the night before. So looking at the recipe while at work, it didn't really seem that it needed to go into the crockpot, so we adapted it. I offered to help make it but D told me to go run. So I did.
I'll put the original directions in with mine in paretheses. I would have again. D said he would make it in 2 separate containers next time (so again, not in a crockpot) so he could have blue cheese. I did notice he put hot sauce on top of his portion of the cooked product.
The Nutritional Information may be a little off. Frank's Wing Sauce is 0 calories for 1 TBSP. But I figured it isn't that off, because you're having between 1.5 and 2 TBSP depending on your serving size.
