CROCKPOT MONGOLIAN BEEF
Here's a weeknight dinner that's sure to be a hit amongst the entire family. It satisfies all of those Chinese food cravings without leaving the house. This meal gets rave reviews in our home. My son is pretty much obsessed with soy sauce and would put it on his cereal if I let him. Same goes for my daughter. She requests this one quite often, and it's hearty enough for the hubs. So, that pretty much covers everyone in our house, and what I like the most about this meal, is how darn easy it is. You throw this one all together in your crockpot in the morning and go on about your day. Only thing left to do is boil some jasmine rice or set your rice cooker timer and you're D O N E.
doesn't photograph well, but it's DELISH.
