I would like to make this in a slow cooker. Does anyone know how to change the recipe to do that?I'm sorry to put this under reviews. I didn't see any place to ask questions.

I'm always hesitant about trying new dinners with 3 boys...one of them quite picky. However, this recipe was a hit! Will definitely be making it again and again and again.....the sauce/gravy was delicious on the rice too.

I used taco sauce instead of tomato sauce for a little extra kick. My son and I enjoyed this with rice.

These were very good. I can't wait to try this on other meats. I did not use the water and flour to make extra sauce, because you already have plenty. My husband was very surprised by these. Everyone enjoyed them
