Ohhhh soooo wonderful and the smell! I followed the instructions only I did add a little of the Sriracha and a few portabellos midway and all I and DH can say is ohhhhhh. This was definately a keeper and going into my favorites of 2011. Thank you! Made for Spring Pick a Chef Orphanage 2011.

Oh My! 10 stars from us! Total comfort food on a day that's been windy and stormy. We spent most of the day car shopping for our teen and coming home to the smell of this recipe in the crock pot was Heaven! The only thing I had to alter was the meat, as I couldn't find the right cut at the grocery store so I settled on strip steaks. They basically shredded themselves! Thanks for sharing your creation, LCurt; we'll be making it again. Made & enjoyed for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :)

This was great! I used the Sriracha as you suggested and we could tell it was in there lol. I thickened the sauce and added the meat back into it. DH thought nice thick portabella slices would be good added midway through cooking. I subbed sour cream for the cream cheese in the potatoes but the real star was the meat and gravy. Super easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2011.
