This was great and easy too -- just toss everything in the crockpot and let it do its thing! Served with tortillas and rice. Thanks for sharing! -
I thought this was very good, except one thing. IT WAS REALLY SPICEY! I was wondering how much chili and adobo to put in, (I put in a whole 12 oz can), and when I looked at the recipe again to make a review, I noticed, "ONE CHILI", not one can. . . my mistake! <br/><br/>I did make a small change (other than too many chilies). I let everything cook for a while then I took the sauce out and put it in the blender for a more "traditional;" mole texture (at least based on the mole I've seen before). <br/><br/>I did enjoy this (at least as much as I could taste with so much heat), so I will give this another shot. I love that I can make this in my crock pot in very little time for me. -
