Made this last night and I think it came out really good! My family loved it~the kids just ate it as a roast, but hubby and I made it into sandwiches. I used lite dressing, so that may have cut down on the oiliness that some others complained of. Also included onions and peppers as suggested, and added them to our sandwiches. Will make this again~

It was simply OK. I put together the recipe as it called with a few minor changes. I added a 1/2 pack of the italian dressing seasoning after reading many reviews saying the Italian flavor was lacking. Yes, it was very oily but when you dump a bottle of dressing into a pot with meat I expect that. I took the meat out, shredded it, skimmed the juices of most of the oil, put the shredded meat back into my crock pot and added a small amount of the juice back in so the meat wouldn't dry out. I cooked this on high for 6 hours instead of on low for 12. The meat fell apart and was tender but the flavor was still lacking for me. I tested the meat prior to serving and still added the remainder of the italian dressing packet to the meat and it still didn't "bring it to life" like I expected. I didn't have the overpowering sweetness of the brown sugar like some reviewers wrote about, more a lack of general flavor. It's not a horrible meal but something I probably wouldn't make again unless I double the packets of italian dressing and used less of the bottle kind.
