    I tried this recipe for the 1st time today. I did it stove top because I didn’t have time for the slow cooker OPTION… It was super yummy! Thank you Julia!

    I bought the ingredients for this but didn’t have time to put them in the slow cooker before work. I really wanted to have this for dinner when I got home buy couldn’t wait 2-5 hours to slow cook so I decided to follow the recipe but simmer in a pot for an hour. It came out tasting great and was a big hit with my family!
