My husband looooves our slow cooker. He is always trying to figure out what to make next in it! I have to admit it is awesome to just put everything in and forget about it for a few hours. Our favorite thing to make in one is of course chili, but this recipe sounds pretty tasty, we’ll have to give it a try!

I still call it a Crock Pot and I’m only 28!! Seriously, one of the best inventions ever. I enjoy soup and chili in the crock pot, as it simmers all day, all the flavors come together perfectly.

I love using the crock pot but don’t have many recipes for it – so thank you! I’ll definitely give this one a try. My favorite is my mom’s hungarian goulash recipe… definitely comfort food!!

I like to make chicken fajitas in the crock pot. I have a mini one, so its the perfect amount for me. It’s great having a meal ready to go as soon as I step into my apartment after work.
