It was "okay". I thought it was dry in the end so I added some more water and vinegar... still missing something.

This was delicious! Very similar to my mom's version, but she always used green onion.

This recipe is from the original Betty Crocker cookbook and I have been making it since my late teens. Extremely popular with my friends and relatives, especially during football season. Now where the slow cooker directions are, don't know.
