Traeger Grills is a crave worthy brand to follow. The recipes they come up with are inspiring & delicious! Firing up the grill and whipping up something tasty is a true past time. However, we know that many folks either don't care to grill or just simply aren't able to. So, we adjusted the recipe a bit to prepare this dish in the oven. It turned out just as delicious!
To start, get the oven preheated to 350°
