Crock Pot Madness!

There's nothing like a good ol' crock pot meal. I love slow cooker meals because it makes getting dinner on the table that much easier. I especially like crock pot "dump" meals. You know, those meals where you just dump all the ingredients in and leave it. Then eight hours later dinner is served! To us hardworking moms, there's nothing better. Here are a few of my favorite slow cooker meals. Also, don't forget to check out my YouTube channel, At Home With Tiffany, where I will be walking you through each recipe. Stay calm and be blessed!
