Healthy Option

You can substitute the ground beef for ground turkey if you are needing a healthier option. Also, shredded chicken breast goes great with this recipe.

Don’t have a slow cooker or need to buy a new one? Below is the one I use and it works fabulously! My mother-in-law bought this for me for our wedding shower! Crock Pot brand is the original brand I prefer but Hamilton Beach has great kitchen items as well. If your looking to save yourself extra effort and mess, check out the can opener and slow cooker liners I use below too.

One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.
