Review:

• Delicious & SUPER EASY to make - [although we enjoyed it a day later than anticipated because I forgot to turn on the crock pot - note it is helpful to plug in the crock pot when you are cooking with it - I spaced out]
• Lots of leftovers - 2 adults were eating and we are still eating off of it - we both have eaten two meals of it so far - I need to pick up another bag of egg noodles to pour the sauce over
• I cut the onion just a little because Marc & I don't love onion - we love the flavor but not actually eating them - I used a 1/4 an onion chopped and added some onion powder

Confession:

• I LOVE LOVE LOVE cooking with a crock pot - there is something glorious about coming home or not having to worry about what is for dinner when the time comes but rather just know that something glorious has been cooking all day.
• I love love love leftovers as well. Seriously Marc and I love just being able to heat up something for meals rather than having to do all the cooking all of the time.
