This adapted recipe from Damn Delicious takes classic takeout to a healthy at home dish! It’s so easy & so tasty, made in the crockpot, and reheats well, so be smart & double it to have leftovers 🙂
I adapted it slightly to be slightly more paleo friendly, but then served it over rice which is totally not paleo, ha. It would be delicious over cauli-rice as well!
