Recipes - Crock Pot

By request I'm including two crockpot recipes. These are great ideas for this time of year when it gets dark early and we come home hungry; dinner will be ready.

These two recipes are from the now out of print - Best Eats Cookbook, Weight Watchers. This cookbook was created by recipes from members.
