Is it just me, or is everyone's crockpot getting quite the workout as fall begins? In the past two weeks I've made two huge batches of spaghetti sauce with meatballs in the slow cooker.
I usually don't do two batches so close together, but the other day I hosted a pasta party for my daughter's field-hockey team, so I made a fresh batch just for that. The leftovers went into the freezer for quick dinners some other time.
As I make out my meal plans and shopping lists, I'm writing down things like chili, soup and even stew--though I'm really the only one in the house who likes stew. And last week I tried a new recipe for pot roast in the slow cooker that was amazingly easy and delicious.
Fall is my favorite time to make delicious, filling and easy dinners like these. Add a full cookie jar to the mix, and everybody's happy!
