Our Reviews:

Tip: Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for slow cooking than expensive cuts of meat.


Shelley: Very delicious! Tasted really good with the gravy. Served with butternut squash and a baked potato.


Ryan: A tiny tiny bit dry, but the gravy really helped.  Perhaps next time cut the time down to 4 hours (I did 4 1/2 hours this time).
