If you like anything sweet & sour you will like this. My mom used to make something similar & I love it. Using the crock pot method makes it that much easier. You can do this same recipe without the crock pot you just need to put the pan on low. Also as a side note (due to the fact that I own a grinder attachment for my mixer) I ground fresh chuck. I'm a huge advocate of using fresh ingredients for everything (if you haven't figured that out from several of my other posts). Well This is one of my favorites. Enjoy!
