Sometimes you are looking for a hearty dish that will satisfy a crowd and this one fits the bill.
The protein, fat, and fiber keep it filling and then blend of herbs and spices keep it delicious!!
This is my “go-to” as it is quick in the instant pot, but don’t worry if you don’t have one. You can cook 6-8 hours on low in your slow cooker too!
Try it and please let me know how you like it.
