Made for PAC 06. This is delicious! My photos do not do justice to the recipe. Very garlicky! Very good! Suggest that it is removed from the crock pot after 4 hours and finished in the oven. Mine almost fell apart transfering it to oven to brown. SOOOO TASTY! And the garicky gravy I made from the dripping was delish! Thanks for posting!!!
