Hands-down this is a family favorite. In fact, we like this recipe so well that after having devoured one batch and realizing all too late that we should’ve-could’ve taken pictures for you… well, we just made another batch.
Delicious! Easy, works especially well in a crock pot, serve with a side of Squirrel Bread and you have a very satisfying meal for 6-8 people just in from a day of skiing, or whatever your fancy.
