My cousin Chelsea lives in LA, as in Los Angeles. She is too cute and sent me a recipe a while back that she had made for dinner for herself and her man. I pinned it and forgot about it. Now that I have photography class on Wednesday nights, that is a night I desperately need a slow cooker recipe I can eat before class in a rush or I will resort to picking up Bud's Broiler (#4 with hickory Sauce) on the way home after class like a ravenous fool.
I also have been on a weight gaining spree and needed to slow my roll and get back to my little to no carb lifestyle. This recipe was perfect for that goal as I would just serve it as is with no rice or noodles, kind of like a soup. I added some of those marinated veggies from Costco I like to add to everything and they were an excellent addition! Try this, it is really good, lots of depth of flavor, set it and forget it and healthy! Everyone wins! Full recipe to follow the montage.
