  1. Never mind I’m sure folks know how many degrees are considered High, but being a Nawlins boy I go slow & low at about 350-400 degrees for about 4 hours.

  2. I just made this dish. I omitted the tomatoes and I didn’t have ancho chili powder. I added sweet peppers and a little bit of brown sugar to my taste. The dish is different but awesome! My daughter wanted seconds.

  3. I made this today cooking 350 degrees for 4 hours in the oven, added and deleted seasoning I didn’t have.

    Will let you know how it turns out but made if for a client so I won’t get to taste this dish!

  4. Made this dish last night for the first time and we loved it. Was unsure about some of the spices together but was surprised how well the flavors blend. 4 star recipe that is now added to the family recipe book!
