    Our family went goo-goo-gaa-gaa over this delicious beef and mushroom laced Ragu sauce!

    I’m not sure which is the best part – the fact that everyone loved it. Or the fact that it practically cooked itself in the slow cooker all day. This is an easy “Dump Dinner” – where you’re just dropping and dumping ingredients into the slow cooker and letting it take care of the rest. (I love these kinds of meals – so much so that I wrote a cookbook about them!)

    Enjoy!!!
