Fall is upon us and we are in the mood for some hearty, warm dinners. I’m breaking out the Slow Cooker this week in hopes of some hands-free satisfying meals.
I’m often amazed at what you can cook in a crock pot (lasagna!) and it turns cheaper cuts of meat into something delicious. It’s also a great way to use up some common pantry items and turn them into a tasty dinner.
