OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Incredible dish. The only changes I made was using low sodium chicken broth instead of water and I also added a few cloves... of sliced garlic. Make this for a dinner party and surprise the hell out of your guests!!!Read more

Very good and easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I've never had oxtails but always hear about them. I had a recipe book from the south and tried it and it didn't work out... and the meat was tough. As some of the bad critics of this stated that it was "too salty" they did not read the recipe right. It says to toss the oxtails in the "house seasoning" not dump all that into the recipe...so don't do that mistake. As for simple this was very simple and allowed me to do work and come back to a hearty meal.Read more
