We ate these 3 days in a row! They were delicious, it made more than I anticipated, and it is softball season so quick dinners are essential! This dish is perfect for a family because it is cheap, makes a LOT, and prep is easy on mama! It literally took me 5 minutes to throw this together and it cooked on its own all day in the crockpot. A win for everyone! Hope you enjoy! Happy Cooking!!!
