Crock Pot Girls' Reader Recipes...Need to PIN These Recipes


I adore those CrockPot girls on Facebook. And I frequent (and cook from) their web site a lot. I use my slow cooker 2-4 times a week. By far, it's one of my hardest working appliances.




But, I also LOVE the reader posted recipes on Facebook. And it makes me so sad that I can't post them to Pinterest. So, I thought I'd start an ongoing post with some of the recipes that readers have left on their Facebook page. It will be WAY easier for me (and you, if you'd like) to access my favorites....and add to them when another FAVE pops up.
