I remember watching the Frug make these on TV about 20 years ago and I have long since lost his exact recipe. This is my version of it and they are YUM-OH! The recipe makes 6-8 servings or more depending on how hungry you are. I haven't made it in forever, but I believe you will get at least 12 - 16 wrapped lamb packages out the recipe

I love this stew because it can be made from your pantry and freezer. I always keep red potatoes, turkey sausage, and beans on hand. It's great for those nights when you just don't want to brave the cold to go to the supermarket.

Submitted by FITNESSMAGAZINE

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better! So I'm remaking a medium Papa John's pie with pineapple, onion and bacon(BACON!!!). Fresh homemade sauce and premium ingredients make this recipe more than worth the calories, and still trimmer than the fast food original!
