Notes

*I always use a crockpot/slow cooker for this recipe. The pictures reflects an Instant Pot. At the time I photographed this recipe, my crockpot had broken, so I used my Instant Pot on the 'slow cooker' function. If you decide to do the same thing, make sure the slow cooker function on the Instant Pot is set to 'high' or 'more', and you cook it 6-8 hours. The slow cooker function on the Instant Pot does not compare to a traditional slow cooker. The 'high' is more like a 'low' on a crockpot.
