      How can this be converted to a pressure cooker recipe? Can the mushrooms and peppers be put in at the beginning?

        Yes, you could add them at the beginning, because you want them to “melt” into the sauce. So that would be fine to cook that way 🙂

      This is a great recipe! Love that I can throw everything into one pot. I used squash in place of the peppers. I like a bit more flavor so I added garlic powder, onion powder, and a bit of cayenne.
