Hamilton Slow Cooker Carne Guisada

This is a dish that I've been cooking on the stove top for many years and I was thrilled when I learned that Hamilton Beach was hosting a slow cooker challenge for 37 Cooks. The recipe converted perfectly to a slow cooker method. Carne Guisada is a staple in Latino cuisine. This is the Dominican version.
