Nutrition
Too soupy; needs to be served over something such as rice, potatoes, noodles, etc, otherwise good taste.
Have you made this recipe in an instant pot? Thinking I may give it a go or try the slow cooker function on my instant pot which I've never used.
I have not tried yet but if you do let me know!
