Sauce:

You will need to use an oven proof skillet – I used a 10 inch cast iron skillet which seems to be the perfect size. I love that this meal onlinees right out of the oven bubbling and smelling amazing! We serve it with a simple salad; it’s a meal everyone in my family enjoys.
Note: If you don’t have a skillet, you could always make the sauce mixture on the stove and then transfer to a casserole dish.
