    O.K.
    I did not think this had much flavor at all. I love onions though. Needs to have a little bit more seasoning for the pork. Some kind of rub maybe. But over all ok - 6/10/08

    i adjusted this slightly by adding carrots and celery then cooking in the slow cooker. It turned out awesome. The flavor was great!!!! - 3/13/07
