Ok, to be honest, we didn't make this recipe over an open fire, with cast iron. We cooked this in a crock pot, and made a few other changes to the recipe, but stuck with the basics. It turned out so well that our parents came over for some, asked for seconds, and wanted to take home some! There was no waste. We ate it to the last drop.
