Method
If baking, preheat the oven to 425° F. If using a slow cooker, preheat to low or high.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the onions and peppers, cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes or until starting to brown. Add in the garlic and cook another minute longer. Transfer to a 9x13 baking dish if baking or your slow cooker.
Add the remaining ingredients to the baking dish or slow cooker and gently mix to combine. Transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or slow cook for 2-3 hours on high or 4-5 hours on low. Stir once or twice while cooking.
Serve with cilantro if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Reheat on the stovetop over low, in the oven, or the microwave. They are also delicious cold.
