Crock Pot Recipes

[yeshua'sbride]

I noticed on Racheal's recipe thread where a few people were looking for crock pot recipes. Most of the ones I'll be posting are from Fix It and Forget It Cookbook - Feasting with your Slow Cooker.

It's cold out today, and I woke up with a cold, so this looks like a good one to start with. :)
