Sorry, this was just plain icky. I was looking forward to it but the flavors just didn't mix nicely.

I left this recipe out for my husband to make while I was at school. He only used 2 large sweet potatoes and that was plenty. For the bar b que sauce I used recipe#59772 ( I love that stuff!!) with 1 tsp of liquid smoke. It cooked on high for 6 hours and everything was fork tender.

Yes, simple AND sassy! I "kicked it up a notch" by adding minced jalapeno, because it just seemed like the right thing to do. Also, used fewer sweet potatoes (six was a lot!). many thanks, this is just what I wanted!
