Tonight’s meal is based on this recipe from A Year of Crockpotting! I threw it all in the crockpot as the boys were eating lunch and put the crockpot outside on the patio to cook for the afternoon. Worked like a charm. Didn’t have to smell it cooking all day and was able to enjoy it for dinner. Because “I didn’t cook it!” Thanks for this great tip Lynn!
About the ingredients…chicken tenderloins were on sale $1.78/lb last week. I had a sweet potato left from the pre-Easter sale ($.49/lb) and found a MONSTER bottle of BBQ sauce that was on sale for $1! There was quite a bit of BBQ sauce leftover in the bottle after I poured out 2 cups worth!
