Shawn & Laura's Kitchen Sink Feijoada

Submitted by Laura and Shawn

"We rummaged though our kitchen & conjured up this delicious dish. It is more of a "Mexy twist" Feijoada. We cooked it in the crockpot & it was very simple. The preparation time was minimal. The hardest part was waiting for it to finish cooking. As one knows, crockpotting wafts throughout your entire house."
