I have been slammed lately with kid-related activities after school almost every day of the week. This type of schedule leaves little or no time for dinner prep, so when I can, I use my slow cooker to help me out.
Sometime after a meeting, but before school pick up, swim lessons and baseball practice, I found some time to throw these simple ingredients together in the slow cooker to be ready for us when we returned home later that evening.
Most of the ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and/or freezer.....and if you don't, modify, modify, modify. I am the queen of modification and it seems to always work out.
Here's what you need for success.....{full recipe below}
Chop Chop and throw it in the pot.
Four hours later, it looks like this.
