minutesThis is a favorite recipe on a cold night.I have been making it for 15 years. It is easy and delicious. I always serve it over a spoonful of polenta. It is so warming, so the perfect dish on a cold night. I make this a lot in Wyoming on cold winter days. Perfect meal after a day of snow shoeing or cross country skiing. When I serve it for guests, I always serve it with a crunchy salad, good bread and chocolate pot de cremes. It seems to be a perfect meal and always a complimentary glass of red wine. It is a perfect meal by fireside.**** You can always make this the day before and reheat and serve. It usually cooks on low for 7 hours.
