Tuesday night is officially "crockpot night" at my house. It's the only night that the kids' don't have soccer practice, but it is piano teaching day for me. It's been so nice to have dinner prepped before I start teaching at 2:00 and ready to eat when I have a break.
This recipe is all over pinterest, but is posted here. I used less sauce than it called for and it worked great. My kids like it and we've made it several times. I just throw some rice in my rice cooker and set the timer. Then all I have to do is cook some veggies and slice some fruit and dinner is ready.
