Recipe Notes
From Fine Cooking March 2011
Thank you so much for posting this! It was one of my favorite Fine Cooking recipes, and when they took down the website a couple of weeks ago, I thought I’d lost it. Thank you!!
I made this for tonight’s dinner. I almost forgot to put the onions in. I realized it after one hour had gone by. We found it delicious and the meat was so tender. Very easy to do. My husband only asks to cut down on the pepper. I will make this again. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great to hear that! You’ve reminded me I need to make this dish again soon.
Wow, that’s what I was exploring for, what a information! present here at this web site, thanks admin of this web site.
I made this for St. Patrick's Day and it was delicious! I'll definitely be making it again.
This looks really good – I think my husband would love this. Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing!! The perfect winter meal.
OOO I want to try this! One of the few slow-cooker recipes I've seen that does not require browning the meat first! I mean, what's the point of using your slow cooker if you have to do all those extra steps?! 😛
This makes me wish it were St Patty's day.
I know! Haha. I've still got Guinness in the fridge… thinking of making a chocolate stout cake even though St. Patty's day is so far off.
Oh my yum!
That looks SO delicious. I'm a huge fan of crock pot cooking. I'm putting this on my list to make soon 🙂
