Personal Notes:
I first started using this recipe in 2002. It was shortly after 9/11 when my husband and I bought a motorhome and ventured out on our first 6-month trip in January 2002. I cooked all meals in the motorhome when we weren't out sightseeing, and the three appliances I couldn't live without were a coffee pot, pressure cooker, and VitaMix. During this time, I created a recipe database and a web page to document our travels. (Remember, this was before Facebook®, and I had to upload my web pages via dial-up modem!) This recipe was one of the first that I added to my database, and we never got tired of it. We finished our travels in 2004, which took us to all 48 states.

This recipe was one of my favorites. Using a pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot®, makes this recipe easy to prepare. I have made it multiple times for company and always receive many compliments, such as "so gourmet!" I usually round out the meal with a colorful salad and freshly baked French bread. If you have a bunch of hungry kids, they love it over mashed potatoes. It's a winner either way!
