I am a huge fan of using the crock pot for dinner, even the side dishes! Sometimes it is easier to make the main dish and get discouraged from cooking because of the side dishes. This happens to me a lot. We recently made roast beef, but I was just so busy that day, that I didn’t want to worry about side dishes when it was ready to plate everything. I decided to go with a steam bag of peas and these amazing slow cooked potatoes! So easy to prep things earlier in the day and after a long day of work and driving to just put something in the oven and scoop up some deliciousness out of the crock pot.
