Hi Leisa. Are these measurements for quarts?
How many jars will this produce, Leisa?
It’s easy to figure out how many Quarts this recipe is for. She said you need 7 Tablespoons of ranch mix and it’s 1 Tablespoon per jar so that would be 7 quarts.
This recipe is delicious! Thank you Leisa! When I’m ready to serve it, I dump the juice into a sauce pan and thicken it, then dump in the chunks of meat and heat it up. I serve it over mashed potatoes! Love the little kick of spice!
