If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can still make this recipe with a little modification. For the portion of the recipe that is done on the stovetop, you can use a large pot instead. Then, transfer all the ingredients into a casserole dish that has a tight fitting lid and finish baking in the oven. Alternatively, you can use a 9 x 13 inch baking pan that you cover tightly with aluminum foil.
