Crock Pot or Slow Cooker Instructions:

• Add all ingredients except the zucchini to a crock pot or slow cooker.
• Cook on high for 6 to 8 hours or low for 4-6 hours.
• The last thirty minutes before cook time is up, add in the diced zucchini. If you add it before, it will become mushy and fall apart.
