Very quick and easy recipe! I threw all the ingredients in my crock pot,using a red onion (no yellow ones on hand). My husband had 2 helpings...we both liked this meal and will add to our 'favorites'. Thanks for sharing.

We loved it. It was close to Popeye's, but not exact. I had no prob. w/ drying out. If it looks low on moisture just add water. It tasted even better after sitting overnight!
