I have made this meal many times over the past 4 years, the only thing I change is I omit the potatoes and make mashed potatoes because the gravy this recipe produces is so amazing it has to be put all over mashed potatoes! This is the best thing I have ever made in a crock pot, I got my first one in 1974!
