This is a good recipe for a day when you are going to be in and out. I have made it and let it cook longer, but the meat fell off the bones, if that doesn't bother you, then certainly let it cook longer. :) I have added onions and sliced bell pepper and that comes out really good also, I served that over rice. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.
