Last night it was chilly and dinner that had been planned didn't happen. Long boring story. So we decided to try this. We didn't have 7-8 hours to do it properly in a crock pot. So we did it on a stove. It was sooo good and such a hit that my dc devoured it. There was none left over for lunch today let alone for me to take pictures of last night.
Here's the recipe as it was shared with me through IM.
