Total Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 2 hrs

Recipe

• 1 cut meat into 2-3" chunks and put into a large pot or dutch oven. sprinkle with hot pepper seeds-to taste.
• 2 layer all of the ingredients in the order given, just make sure the the tomato juice and sauce cover the veggies but not so much it becomes a soup. wiggle the pan so the sauce distributes throughout.
• 3 cook on medium to medium-low heat for 1 hour, skimming when needed and stirring occasionally (at this point you want to stir carefully so as not to disrupt the layering too much).
• 4 cook an additional hour or so on medium-low or until the carrots are done.
