Since I knew we were going to be gone most of the afternoon, I thought a crock-pot meal would be the best and easiest way to get dinner on the table tonight.  I found this recipe through bettycrocker.com and only changed it up, because I couldn’t find frozen stir-fry bell peppers at the grocery store. I substituted fresh bell peppers instead. Oh – and I just realized I forgot to add the salt.

It was very good (although a bit drippy) and with just the two of us (Maria ate separately and went to bed before we ate) made plenty for leftovers later this week and some in the freezer for future.   And I will definitely make this again. I like that it can cook for 10 hours, so it’ll work for days I’m working!
