This is one of my old standby slow-cooker recipes. I could assemble this meal with my eyes closed, it’s so easy. I’ve been making this meal since Grace was a baby and now she is nearly 8 years old (Eeek)! I came across this recipe back in the day when I was given a subscription to the Taste of Home magazine and I was thrilled when I came across this recipe because I was just beginning to use my crockpot. It’s been a favorite in our household ever since.
Not only is this dish flavorful and easy, but extremely frugal too. I love it, my husband loves it, and more importantly, my kids love it, too!
