- Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. Alternatively, cook on high for 2-3 hours if you’re in a rush.

- Feeling adventurous? Toss in some pineapple chunks for a tropical twist.
- Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal. Heck, even mashed potatoes work if you’re feeling rebellious.
- To thicken the sauce, remove some of the liquid, mix it with cornstarch, and stir back in. Magic!
