“Made this and it was a big hit at our house. Things I would do differently: When I added the two jalapeños, I discarded all but about a teaspoon of the seeds, so the dish came out very savory but mild in terms of heat. Next time, I'll include about a tablespoo” — a cook, 5★

“This recipe was easy and delicious! I wanted to try an alternative to pork, and the flavor was so tasty and comparable! Give it a try! I will absolutely make this easy slow-cooker recipe again” — a cook, 5★
