This tasted much better than I expected. It's such a simple recipe but delivers a lot of flavor. Instead of making the sauce with corn starch I just put a half cup of rice in the crockpot in the last 20-30 minutes of cooking. Delicious!

This couldn't get much easier and it delivers a real depth of flavor. I skipped the chili powder so that DH would eat it and he happily proclaimed it to be 5 stars. So glad I tried this marvelous recipe. Mine cooked for 3.5 hrs and was moist and tender. Two thumbs up.
