OUTSTANDING! I used regular black pepper instead of cayenne. Made for ZWT 7.

Mmm this was scrumptious, I am sorry I had no green peppers so I had to make do with red but I think it would of been better with green so next time. I did cook mine for a bit longer as my meat was a bit tough, we like it melt in the mouth soft which it was. I did put a wee bit more pepper in and it gave it a nice kick I will definitely make it again it was yummy. Thank you for posting. Made for PAC Spring 2011.

I made this for dinner last night and both DS, DD and myself really enjoyed the meal. I did make a few changes, due to family tastes, I left out the green pepper and cayenne pepper, and used regular black pepper. I did add chopped onion, which I noticed wasn't listed in the ingredients, but is listed in step 5 of the ingredients. I let mine simmer for about 1 hour and 15 mins., to get the meat really tender, so did also add more water. I then thickened the pan juices to make a nice gravy, which I served over the meat and mashed potatoes. Thanks iewe for sharing. Made for 123 tag.

Oh so good! I can't believe that I'm the first to review this. DH said 5 stars without being ask, he loved it. I made a 1/2 recipe and got enough for 4 servings for us. I used canola oil for the browning and red bell pepper (it's what I had). I needed to add more water a couple of times but thats nothing serious. This has wonderful flavor, the meat is very tender and it simple to make. It's a real winner all the way around. Made for Newest Tag.
