Sorry Betty Crocker, did not enjoy this at all. Took a few bites and then tossed it. I just did not like the flavors.

Good flavors, just be sure not to over cook it! I cooked it for the seven hours and it was a little mushy. My family liked the flavors and I will make it again, just with less cook time.
