I love how easy this looks. I also love things that can just go in the crock pot so it is started in the morning and all I have to do is take it out later. Even better this is mexican food which next to seafood is our favorite.

I enjoy making crockpot meals. One of my favorites things about cooking in my crockpot is when I come home and walk in the front door and trhe smell of what I am cooking is all through the house. So I imagine that the smell from this is excellent.
Melinda says
