My Laptop Died

Zinc Saucier Edition 11 – Steak Casserole
Hey look ma and Kimberlee, vegetables. Ok so this one is relatively easy. I realized that a pepper sauce that involves a dairy product is nasty as all hell. So I replaced the dairy product with red wine. And it worked like a charm. It's a very simple recipe, so simple...
