With the cooler weather here, I love putting a meal in my crockpot and having supper cooked when we are ready to eat. I know many kids have after school activities that keep them busy until bedtime. It's always nice to have something ready to serve.
These are some of my favorite crockpot recipes.
I hope y’all have a wonderful week.
