    I just made this for my family last night! It was so so so good. I was shocked at how delicious it was considering it was so simple to make! We enjoyed putting it on top of rice! I doubled the recipe and was able to freeze the rest in single serve portions for easy lunches. I was able to get 12 portions out of it for about $5ish bucks. Amazing!

    What size crockpot do I need to make recipes in your cookbook? Are all your crockpot recipes designed for that size too? Making your Slow Cooker Mexican Pasta. No room for pasta so I did 1 cup uncooked long grain rice instead. Is this ok? TY!
