Being from the South myself, I searched and searched for somethin' similiar like my granny used to make and I'm so glad I tried yours first, MAN, this stuff is FANTASTIC almost identical to what I remember it tastin' like when I was little. The only thing I would do different would be to add a couple of boiled eggs that had been chopped up and about a cup or a little more than a cup of broth and only because I like mine moist to the point you can't cut it, but SCOOP it out. But it was VERY moist prepared accordin' to your directions. I'd give it 10 stars if I could, absolutely wonderful!! So from one southern gal to another, thanks Kaykwilts for postin' this!!
