Simple meals. That is what I am always looking for. I love pulling out recipes I haven’t made in a while and seeing how they stand up. I realized I now make this a bit differently than I did years ago. I have updated the recipe to reflect the changes I have made. This dish offers tons of flavor, tender meat, and delicious gravy. It is also super simple to make!
Verdict:
My daughter said, “Ten out of ten! Make this again.” She was sneaking the meat from the slow cooker after dinner was over. There were two lunch servings leftover and they were quickly claimed. The meat was super tender, the gravy had tons of flavor, and it was perfect over the egg noodles. Spaetzle would have also been great with this.

I can’t get ginger snaps here…fresh ginger should be ok though ..What do you think? The biscuits contain sugar so am assuming they would add some sweetness as well ?

Sweetness and the binder. There is a bit of cornstarch but not a lot.
