    Question: the recipe only lists garlic once in the ingredients, but 2 different parts of the directions say to add garlic. how much for each? also the directions say hot sauce, but it is not listed in the ingredients. How much? the temp says between 300 and 350, so why not just say 325?

    This recipe is so super duper AMAZING! Followed it as is and used Barefoot's Sweet Red as the wine. I may have went a little too liberal with the seasoning so it turned out a little salty (but the rice mellowed it out a little but this is most definitely a keeper to do over and over again.

    Miss Paula, this was the bomb, darlin'. I finally found some really big, meaty oxtails and said this is it...I gotta make 'em. Now I know from oxtails as I am the product of a NC raised mother and a father who was from South America. Both cuisines make oxtail, and I come from a long line of gooood cooks. My daughter called my son to tell him what I was doing, and he said...Um, ok; I'll be home for dinner (he lives about 20 miles away..daughter was home on spring break. My 88 y/o mother called and said you better save me some; as did a friend of ours. Long and short of it was, I had to tell my kids not to be such pigs or there wouldnt be any left for anyone else. We did have a few moments of wondering about certain things such as can size of broth and temperature, but we got it done using a little common sense. I am going to make them again this week, and might just double the recipe. I think I need to.

    I decided to try this with really high-quality beef short ribs instead of oxtails and the result was absoutely delicious!!! No, you don't need the rice with the potatoes...but I bet this sauce is great over egg noodles!

    My only complaint about this recipe is that I think the potatoes are overkill with the rice. Also, some of the ingredient specifications are not clear. What size can of broth? It says to add garlic twice, but how much each time? And I guess the hot sauce is to taste. The oxtails were quite tender and very tasty. The potatoes took longer than the 15 minutes called for in the recipe. I would diffently try this recipe again.

    This was the first dish my husband made for the new year and it was a home run!
    We had to leave the potatoes and carrots to simmer for a little longer and next time I would add some kick to the dish with cayenne or paprika.

    THE BEST EVER...I'm a Belizean woman and we know how to season meat. I've had oxtails from restaurants and wanted to try to make some myself. I know Paula Deen knows her stuff, so I thought I'd try her's first. Perfect I did add 1-more can of broth and I baked @320 for 2-1/2 hours. If you leave the onions or potatoes out it will be too salty, I forgot them once, haha. Enjoy.

    I love oxtails, and this is not a bad recipe. The lower rating is for how poorly the recipe is written. "Can" of beef broth? How many ounces is that "can"? There is no hot sauce listed in the ingredient list, so I'm assuming it is just for personal taste? Also the recipe references the 6 garlic cloves for the start of the recipe, but there is a reference to adding garlic again when the oxtails are put back into the pot. Are the original 6 cloves to be divided? Or is additional garlic to be added? This needs to be proofread, doncha think?

    This recipe is a HIT!!! I made it last year for Christmas and am making it again this Christmas! Before this recipe, I've never made oxtails before..the prep time is short but the flavor is big. Love it! Love it! Love it! My family and I thank you for sharing your good down home southern recipes! This one is truly one of my family's favorites! Paula, you're the best!

    Mrs.Paula you are the bomb!!! I love you and your recipes. The oxtails is a nice warm melt in your mouth delight. THANK YOU. The only thing i substitute was the vidalia onions I didn' t have any so i carmelized some yellow onions just to give it that little sweet flavor. This is my second recipe that i am use from the food network I am a fan already. I will be use my recipes especially from Mrs.Paula. DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
