About two weeks ago while my wife was in urgent care for bronchitis, I was killing time watching YouTube. Algorithms at work, this channel/recipe popped up on my suggestions:
While I didn't think I'd love it, I thought my wife would. I stopped and got the ingredients on the way home, and made it that day. It was delicious. We had way more than we needed so we shared with a neighbor who has just lost her mom a few days before. I drove to her house, and I'd just gotten back to my house and she texted me saying "OMG! This is delicious!" We loved it and ate it for late lunch and dinner that day, dinner the next day, and my wife took it for work when she returned to work. I will say that 3 hours on high and one hour of low was about perfect. We made it a week later for a family get-together and my wife suggested letting it cook while I was gone for about 6 -7 hours on low, and it was OVERCOOKED. Still "good" but overcooked.
So, with that "hit" I found a second recipe on the same channel:
I was within 30 minutes of starting this for a dinner with my brother and his girlfriend, and he texted me telling me she was allergic to cinnamon. We put it on hold but I shared the link with my wife's step-mother in GA and she made it for our get-together on Christmas Eve. This, too, was the bomb! She added crushed pecans and raisins to the melted butter/cinnamon/brown sugar mixture and it was amazing.
I can overlook the "clickbait" style titles, and her accent is cool, but I swear I think she's laying it on a LITTLE thick for the camera. If not, she "ya'll's" you to death in real life, and I'm PROUDLY Southern! Just an "fyi" disclaimer ahead of time...it's worth it though for the food.
