My great-aunt made this every Sunday during the depression and the tradition lives on in our family. So simple but the flavors are unreal!

cutting board and knife when prepping, and don’t leave the finished dish at room temperature for more than 2 hours; refrigerate leftovers in a shallow container within that time. Reheat leftovers thoroughly until steaming hot in the center (165°F/74°C) before serving. If your slow cooker has a hot spot, rotate the crock halfway through cooking (if safe to do so) to encourage even browning on top.
