Notes

We make this recipe in a 5qt or larger braiser, or in a dutch over.  However, if you would like you can also make it in an Instant Pot, or a Crockpot.  If you do make it in a dutch over or shallow braiser, just make sure you have enough room for all the ingredients before getting started. The seasoning is pretty versatile so you can driver up the heat if you want by added diced jalapenos or anything else you desire.
