It was easy, flavorful, and different. I used merlot instead of sherry, I added 2 t of brown sugar and marinaded it for at least 4-5 hours. I also added more garlic to it. I took the recommendation of another review and simmered the sauce and poured it over. It was icing on the cake. I would definitely use this one again for sure! Thank you !!!

Is there such thing as to give 6 stars? We loved this recipe. I have been looking for a long time for a slow cooker short rib recipe and this one really makes up for the time. I read other reviews and considered their suggestions. So, I did not flour and brown the meat before. I just put the meat in the pot and made the sauce. I didn't have chili sauce so I used siracha sauce, and it turned out great! I served them with mashed potatoes, and it was such a great meal. My husband was in heaven! Next time, I will thicken the sauce to more like a gracy consistency. But it was great otherwise. And a great dish to do for a party! Thank you for the recipe!!! Will hold on to this one for like... forever!

I really loved this recipe. I read all the other reviews and tried to implement all the other reviews suggestions. I added, broccoli, red pepper, green onions, cherry tomatoes, and omited the cheese. I didn't have garlic pepper so I added more garlic powder and used black pepper. I made sure I cooked the bacon in the microwave to make it extra crispy and right before mixing I added the bacon. So a great recipe if you plan to do this for a party and this allows you to make it a day before, but just don't mix it until the party. I think next time I will add more veggies to this dish. Thank you for the recipe, everyone loved it!
