This was a great, easy recipe. I only used 1/2 of a green and 1/2 of a red pepper because that is all I had but, everything else was the same. We had two last minute guests and they loved it also. I served it with yellow rice and plantains. Two men and two 11 year old boys ate almost all of it!!

Delicious and flavorful. A word of advice for those who are not crazy about peppers- this dish tastes A LOT like peppers. Cut down some if you prefer, you will be ok. I added 5 fresh garlic cloves minced and 1 whole can of tomato paste (and I regretted doing that, 1/2 can is definitely better in my opinion)

Excellent recipe!! The only thing I added was 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper to add a bit of spice. My family loves their spicy foods!! Served with some home made refried beans and spanish rice in tortilla shells. Great!!

Made this recipe as written except adding more tomato paste. Family loved this over rice! Will be making this often this winter. Thanks!

This was my first time making Ropa vieja, so i was a little worried about how it would come out. I had nothing to worry about, because it was great! My husband raved about this dish. We had it over rice, and it was perfect. I only used 3 peppers and half a large onion since hubby doesn't really like them, and it was still yummy. Thanks for a great recipe.

This was the best. I put one pickled jalapeno in it for a little spice. There are just two in our household and we had it over rice and in a tortilla and my husband put it over scrambled eggs. I plan on making this a regular.

Followed the recipe by NC baking girl, perhaps she should keep to baking. Nothing incredible here. Sorry just sharing my opinion.
