These were Granny's recipe but Mom changed it a little because she made it in the pressure cooker. I love cooking them in my crock pot. I can leave them in the morning when I'd leave for work and by the time I came home the house smelled yummy and the peppers were falling apart. Enjoy which ever way you want to make them. I have put the pressure cooker times in here too.
