Wow, all I had to do was lick the spoon after putting the dish in the oven to know it is going to be one delicious dinner! Of course I have a variation because I didn't have all the ingredients. I browned up kielbasa to go along with the shrimp and omitted the tomatoes and chilis because I forgot those at the grocery store. This is a keeper for sure, thanks for the recipe!

I used salt pork instead of hocks. It still came out great. I will be making this again.

I made this last Saturday, BIG HIT!!! Must Do again and again and again. Crazy request for next Saturday's Fish Fry! Thanx!!!

I researched other recipes because I like this base and the flavors added guarantees an amazing turn out, and super easy! I added the following ingredients: 3 red potatoes diced, 1 celery stalk sliced, 6 oz tomato paste, 2 cloves garlic, 2 bay leaves, paprika, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauces, 1 cup organic beef stock, 4 slices bacon and a crock pot. You'll want to warm your crock pot before putting the stew in it. Take 1/3 cup flour (omit the 3 tablespoons vegetable oil) and place in gallon bag with meat, shake to coat and set aside. Cut bacon up and fry in pan with mix of butter and oil (1 tablespoon each). Remove bacon, save bacon fat in pan. Add meat and brown, add onions and saute with meat. Move meat, bacon and onions to crock pot. Deglaze hot pan with 1 can Guinness, 1 cup beef stock, and 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce, add to crock pot. Add all other ingredients and cook on low for 8-10 hours. Check the liquid level, I had to add a total of 2 more cups beef stock while it was stewing. The kicker, serve over Champ (mashed potatoes and green onions), and Irish soda bread (with raisins) to soak up the stew left in the bowl, there's no other way to get the full flavor! Enjoy!

perfect

I loved this recipe, the fish turned out great. I served over rice pilaf and topped with parsley and lemon, good stuff!

I loved how easy this recipe was!

WOW! This recipe was amazing and my family was very impressed with how tender the chops turned out. Golden mushroom soup is a must with this recipe it gives it an amazing taste. Great job on this!

I made this for my mom's vineyard themed birthday, she absolutely loved it! I think I'll try chocolate with red rasberry dessert wine next time.

Great recipe!

Yummy and healthy! To take it one step further, I peeled the apples and diced them and added 1/3 cup applesauce to the apple/sugar mixture. Once everything was put together in a casserole dish, I sprinkled a packet of Maple Brown Sugar instant oatmeal on top. I sprinkled cinnamon on top of that and covered the top in little pieces of butter. I baked it in the oven at 375 for 1 hour and oh my it was delicious!

Man! I love these on the grill.
