    Absolutely delicious! The flavors melded together beautifully in the slow cooker. My family loved it!

  • Winona Herman

    The potatoes were perfectly cooked and so flavorful after simmering in the sauce all day.

  • Aurelia Lynch

    This is a great base recipe. I think it would also work well with pork.

  • Adrian Robel

    I used chicken thighs instead of leg quarters, and it worked great. I also added a bay leaf for extra flavor.

  • Keenan Baumbach

    Next time, I might add a splash of sherry vinegar at the end to brighten up the sauce.

  • Zachery Heathcote

    Simple, flavorful, and satisfying. This is definitely going into my regular rotation.

    I added a pinch of smoked paprika for extra depth, and it was fantastic!
