This is DELICIOUS ! Will go in the cookbook for sure !!! A bit of pre-prep required as I don’t have a sear setting on my old slow cooker, but I did the pre-prep the night before and popped it in the fridge overnight. Set it on to cook about lunchtime, and by 6.30pm it was done. I was a bit worried about adding cornflour at the start, and what seemed like a lot ! But it turned out perfectly – I shouldn’t have doubted it. Recommend !
Thanks for leaving your feedback Tracey 🙂
5 out of 5 stars for us.
l cooked this with an extra green chilli, me ght replace with a red chilli next time. A tablespoon of Greek yoghurt made it ok to eat for 2 that don’t like it too hot.
Will definitely be on rotating during winter.
That’s awesome! Well done Jennifer! 🙂
This was so yummy. I forgot to leave a review the first time I made it, but it was so good I had to make it again!! The first time I made it I served it over tortilla chips and sprinkled cheese on top, then melted the cheese in the oven, plus a big spoonful each of sour cream and guacamole. This time I served it with rice and sour cream. Both ways were a hit with the family.
Thanks Kate for taking the time to come back and leave your lovely feedback! I really appreciate you 🙂
