Notes
The recipe was inspired by one originally posted on Eating on a Dime.
Different crock pot models may yield different results in cooking time. Start checking meat at the 3-hour mark for doneness.
For the most even cooking and the best texture, break up the meat a bit before slow cooking.
If you are cooking it in one piece, break up the meat after cooking it. Stir the cooked meat into the sauce and allow it to sit on warm for 30 minutes to incorporate all of the flavors.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
