Notes
Tips:
You can let this cook in the slow cooker while you are at work and have a delicious supper ready when you get home.
Instead of browning the meat on the stove, you can throw everything in the slow cooker at the same time and let it all cook together that way as well.
This can also be finished on the stove instead of using the slow cooker. Just add the ingredients from step 3 and simmer for 10 minutes with the meat. Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
This may be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw and heat before serving.
