I love sweet potatoes, looks like a yummy combination. Can't wait to get out the slow cooker! It also has Crasins in it, I've never used them with brisket.

This recipe is bland. It lacks zing. You can consider adding some zing by including a jalapeno pepper or 2 and some fresh ginger. And, by the way, please at least try making the recipe first and then posting your comments about it. You idiots need to get a freaking life! IMO, of course!

Yes, I agree! Hard figuring it up in your calories counter without inputting the whole recipe. What a pain....

In my opinion, I wouldn't peel it cuz you just put through strainer in the end and I think the peeling would impart good flavor. Can't wait to try this recipe!
