Wow, I'd made this once before a pretty long time ago, but my husband requested it again..and I literally had to dig the recipe out and dust it off! SOO glad I did! This stuff is really, really good! And did I mention it will have your belly growling ALL day long while it sits in the crock-pot?

What more can a girl ask for? Easy ingredients, easy to make...easy, easy, easy!
