Best Crockpot Recipes

Oh, Crockpot Recipes. 

I got my first Crockpot in 1975, about the time they first came out.  Here’s one of my favorites now. 

Boy have they come a long way.  The concept is still the same – pretty much.  Throw your ingredients in, set it, and forget it.  Come back later and it’s done.
