May 19, 2014 at 4:20 pmOh this looks like an easy and great recipe. Can you also crockpot this?
Shirley Wood says
May 22, 2014 at 7:50 amZan you could absolutely cook this in the crockpot but it wouldn’t take long. You wouldn’t want to cook it for more than 2 hours because those meats won’t take long to cook.
