I turned this into a wonderfully easy weeknight meal by dumping all of the ingredients, less the salt into the crockpot and covered with water. It cooked all day and when I came home from work I added salt and pepper. The sage and thyme give it a unique flavor. I served this over rice. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2014.
