Carne Asada Crock-Pot Chili
This rich, meaty chili is an ideal crock-pot meal. The lager makes a great base but if you’re concerned with adding, feel free to use a non-alcoholic beer. Toppings definitely complete the dish so do not skip on the corn chips and fresh avocado. Carne…
Crock-Pot Spring Chicken and Dumplings
This is absolute comfort food. The chicken is so tender, the dumplings fluffy and soft and the tender vegetables bright and delightful. I always find that leeks add so much depth of flavor to soups and here is no exception. This is the ideal dinner…
