Excellent! I have made this many, many times. It is delicious! I prefer it without the bananas. I have also made it in a slow cooker, without the foil, but I think the oven method is better. Save some of the juices to put on the meat and for leftovers.

This is fantastic and so easy to make.

I've passed this recipe on and everyone rants and raves about it.
