    Very good! made this as a 1/2 recipe more than enough for 2 large sandwiches + salad. Froze leftovers for another day! great for someone who does not like to cook everyday. - 6/6/20

    Easy to make, tastes great. Meat is very tender. The only problem is it was hard to keep to one portion. A single portion is good for a sandwich...a double portion is what I ate for dinner. - 11/12/17
