Our friend over at Bake At 350 has this to say about the recipe:
“That day, I whipped up this deliciousness in the Crock Pot only to forget that I, in fact, from work home and had to sit in my swivel chair, seduced by its aroma for hours on end. The air, tangy-sweet and savory, had just about convinced me to gnaw on my arm when – ding! – done. Four hours to finished perfection in a pot! And I didn’t have to do a dang thing but whip up a marinade and flip a switch.”
It smelled really good! It will flood your kitchen with an onslaught of amazing aromas that you wouldn’t want to leave and stay there forever.
