Choose Your Cooking Method
The recipe instructions include several cooking methods: stovetop, pressure cooker, and slow cooker.
We love our pressure cooker. I am always hesitant to add yet another appliance to our kitchen, and was a Pressure Cooker Holdout for the longest time! Once we got one though? We honestly started using it all the time. It really does decrease cooking time, helping you get dinner finished quickly when you need to.
Years ago, I originally made the recipe in a stovetop dutch oven. If your pressure cooker / slow cooker has a sauté function, you literally follow the same instructions, up to bring to a boil. Then you simply scroll down to the cook times for either machine you opted for.

MMM, the semi vegetarian in me thanks you. What a great recipe. I love coming home when something has been cooking all day. We typically do chili.
I have seen a recipe for brownies in a slow cooker, we should investigate.
