I adore my Mother in Law. She is full of smiles, cheer, hugs and always supplies us with fresh Portuguese rolls.
The kids go crazy for them and they come in handy when it comes to food styling.
Now this recipe is really a ‘dump in the slow cooker and run’ recipe. I wanted to put those words in the title but I assumed that no one likes the word ‘dump’ in recipe titles.
I know, you should not make assumptions but I feel rather confident that I am spot on this time.

Hi Barbara – I wish I had measure it but this much I can tell you: A 3 qt crockpot would be a fine size and it feed the 4 of us with a small bowl of leftovers. I served over noodles (but good in a sloppy joe as well)

Hey Jen – How much does this make? Want to be sure my crock pot is big enough or if I have to reduce recipe.
