Notes

This is one of our go-to recipes - at home and when we are on the road. It is super versatile because you can choose whatever type of meat you like best. Want more veggies? Cut up some fresh cucumbers and tomatoes as additional toppings. Or some jalapenos, if you like it hot.
I'm a big fan of pressure cooking because it's so hands-off. Last year I bought a mini 3-quart instant pot for our camper. So I now make this recipe in the instant pot. Just brown the meat in the instant pot, add all the other ingredients and cook it for 15 minutes on the Bean/Chilli setting.
