Super quick to throw together into the crock pot or Instant Pot, this super savory and delicious dish will fill your house with tantalizing aromas as it slow-cooks for several hours (all day, or overnight), while you do other things. Best made a day or two ahead to give the flavors time to meld and develop. Great for company as well as for batch-cooking several meals’ worth of protein ahead of time!
