I have been a fan of the crockpot for years … I have always liked most of everything that I have made in it…. BUT this recipe takes the cake!! It is amazing!! I got it from a good friend of mine and she assured me that the whole family would love it…. they did. There is none left!! That NEVER happens… sorry I yelled, but y’all !! You have to try this… I really shouldn’t be so demanding … I can’t find enough adjectives to describe how much I love this dish…
