  1. Where do you find chipotle peppers in Adonis at the store? I was at Kroger and asked 2 workers to help with still no luck 🙂

    1. Yes, Christy – it is. It was fine for my husband and I, but if I were making it for my kids to eat, I’d leave out the chipotles in adobo sauce altogether.

  2. I am making this today as well! The store did not have regular beef brisket they had corned beef brisket, I hope it’s not ruined 🙁

    1. Oh no, Amy, I’m not really sure as I’m not that familiar with corned beef other than the fact that it is brined. Let us know how it was.
