This recipe doesn’t really need measuring. I love it so much that I can’t believe it’s as easy as it is. This would taste great if you leave some of the fat on it. My store tends to trim almost all off because they sell the fat separately. However, even well trimmed, it’s delicious. I had leftover roasted potatoes and rice the last time I made it so that was my sides.
