Tips

This recipe can be made with much less sodium if you so choose. Using no salt added tomato products and ground pork with spices will drop the sodium content by more than half. I just can't find those near me easily.


Directions

1. Saute onions, garlic, mushrooms, and peppers until onions are clear
2. Add all ingredients to the crock pot and cook on low 6-8 hours
3. Store in freezer until ready to use; keeps up to 3 months in the freezer or 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
