Oh were to start on the changes. First we do not own a dutch oven. I have no clue what one even is and I haven't had the time(lol)well mainly I don't think about it till it's to late to goggle what it is. In that case I cooked the meat like it said. I then mixed all the ingredients it calls for in a big pot added the meat and let it simmer all day on very low. Would of put it in a crock pot but thats a whole other story. I also added a can of chili beans & the topping was left over from the Mexicali Chicken recipe I will put up soon. It made it yummy!

Enjoy!
