Wow. Just wow. 1 change: I used pork shoulder instead due to the price. I trimmed most of the fat off the meat before putting in the pot b/c there is plenty of internal fat to keep it moist. I used A&W root beer and Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce. We top ours with coleslaw, but thats a family thing :) It's really simple, incredibly tasty and fool proof. TRY IT!

Makes a wonderful chili! A few minor changes- I only made it for two people so I cut the recipe in half. It doesn't have an abundance of flavor on its own, so I added another clove of garlic, crushed red pepper, and a whole lot more chili powder (didnt measure, just dumped!). I seasoned the meat heavily when browning. I also added 8oz. of tomato sauce per the other reviews saying it wasnt moist enough, and I think that did the trick. It has a wonderful dark, rich color and the house fills with the smell. I will make this one again!

I'm confused. All the other reviews are stellar, but my socks weren't knocked off. It needs something-like a sauce. There is little to no moisture when its finished cooking, and makes the overall impression of the dish less appealing. I will make it again however. It was tasty, easy, and healthy. I think next time I will pour 1/2 C. apple cider over everything befor baking to create more of a juice/sauce.
