    Next time, I'll try making my own salsa verde from scratch. The store-bought version was good, but I think homemade would elevate the dish even more.

  • Franz Conn

    I found that 8 hours on low was perfect for shredding. It literally fell apart using 2 forks and tasted great!

  • Boyd Lubowitz

    This recipe is a lifesaver on busy weeknights! I love how easy it is to prepare, and the flavor is fantastic.

  • Darlene Von

    My family raved about these sandwiches! I used brioche buns and pepper jack cheese for a gourmet twist.

  • Cassandra Swaniawski

    I added a can of drained black beans to the slow cooker for extra heartiness and fiber. It was a great addition!
