Also I have no idea what that seasoning is she is using. I just put in a little Worcesterire sauce and steak seasoning and a few pinches of garlic salt or what have you. </p> <p>I'm going to have to make this this week. Plus my favorite part is that since you serve it on a roll it doesn't seem like a crockpot meal, you know?</p> <p>I'm going to have to try some of these recipes! I've bad pretty bad luck with any recipe that involves something like - breasts, baby carrots, bottle of salad dressing. Blech! Those don't turn out for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-best-crockpot-recipes#post-1361090 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 10:38:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 1361090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Glad you enjoyed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-best-crockpot-recipes#post-1360967 Mon, 20 Jan 2014 09:52:59 +0000 lilyann 1360967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Taco Soup is always yummy!</p> <p> 1 lb ground beef or turkey (I use ground turkey)<br /> 2 cans pinto beans in original recipe (You can use other types of beans, you just need 2 cans.
