The description provides quantities for a standard portion. The transcript also mentions optional bell pepper, barbecue sauce, and sour cream and chips for serving, without quantities. It contradicts the description regarding the quantities and ingredients for a larger preparation; the quantities from the description have been used here. The cooking time and number of servings are estimated. The buns are mentioned for serving, but their preparation is not described.
