Hunter's Stew - How to Make Polish Bigos in a Slow Cooker

Traditional ingredients and seasoning with a twist: instead of cooking bigos over several days, stirring, cooling, reheating and adding ingredients gradually, try the slow cooker method. Almost all ingredients can be added at once. The flavor is just as layered as traditionally prepared bigos. Remember, quality of ingredients is key. Smacznego!

I cooked this, turned out so good, as good or better than the real bigos ive had in Poland. DONT FORGET TO ADD THE COOKED-THICK-CUT BACON WHEN THE DISH IS DONE COOKING! lol

I have always wanted to try making bigos sometime. It reminds me of a traditional fall stew called bouja that is very popular in certain areas of the upper Midwest. Typically areas with large German or Polish populations. Looks very good!! Take care!!
